Of all the new series, Lower Decks has been perhaps the most consistent - seasons 1-3 premiered in August, while season four premiered in early September.
This pattern may or may not hold.

MODERATORS
Writers strike likely affected scripts...
Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing...
So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025
Animated television writers are in another guild, one that signed a new contract over a year ago. Neither the WGA or SAG-ACTRA strikes have impacted them.
Thanks, didn't know that
I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things
That poster is wrong I’m afraid. Though not every job in animation was impacted (some were non-union, some accepted the interim agreements) Lower Decks definitely was. The cast is all SAG and all struck.
SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.
Also, the strike is over.
@ValueSubtracted Is the Friday Night Death Slot still a thing? Because it's right around this point Star Trek series usually get shuffled into the Friday Night Death Slot.
I don't think I've ever heard of that being relevant to streaming shows.
Since the only country in which LD airs on tv is Canada, and it streams there as well, I doubt it's a factor.
next summer at the earliest
