TV Trailer Tuesday!
A good question exists of why I share which trailers I do. Why some trailers but not all trailers? The answers is that I really just share trailers of projects that interest me. I’ve loved watching trailers since the days of Coming Attractions on the E! Network when I was a kid. Here are some trailers I’ve been sitting on over the past few days and am just dropping them now for funsies!
First up is the trailer for the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks! I love this show. It’s my Star Trek. And it’s a damn shame this is the final season. We need so much more! This season looks great.
Can’t wait to watch. Love the Beckett/Jennifer stuff. Have no idea what else might happen. Anything could happen! I hope they go huge for the final season!
The last season of Lower Decks comes to Paramount+ starting Oct. 24.
Next up is the new Netflix cartoon Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. This started last Thursday, but I haven’t watched it yet. I’ll get around to it one of these days.
Looks pretty straight forward to me. Lara Croft should be an easy character to adapt, so it’s weird that the movie franchise didn’t really take off. Hopefully this cartoon can reveal how it’s easy and awesome to make a show about a badass exploration hero exploring tombs and fighting bad guys and monsters.
Then we’ve got a new show called Hysteria, which looks pretty neat.
Looks like a fun premise, lots of cheeky humor and I think I’ll definitely try to find a watch somewhere along the way. Or maybe it’ll be one of those shows that comes and goes and nobody remembers it even existed. Who can tell? I’ll probably give it aw atch.
Hysteria comes to Peacock on Oct. 18, so at the end of this week.
Lastly is the first trailer for the second season of Silo on AppleTV+. DO NOT WATCH THIS TRAILER unless you’ve already seen season 1, because it’s full of SPOILERS.
Looks great to me! I really enjoyed the first season, and I can’t wait to see where they go with season 2. This trailer gives us some pretty fun hints and I can’t wait to see them play out!
Silo season 2 comes to AppleTV+ on Nov. 15.

Toon Trailer Tuesday
It’s a Tuesday. I’ve got some cartoon trailers, some leftover from Comic-Con, so I feel like sharing. First up is the trailer for the next season of Solar Opposites, which is still good.
The new voice is normal now, and Solar Opposites remains a fun, weird show. And to double up on them, how about a trailer specifically for the next chapter of The Wall saga?!
Yeah, that’s a good way to spend a Tuesday. Solar Opposites returns to Hulu on Aug. 12! So next week! Neat.
Then we’ve got the Comic-Con trailer for the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. How sad that this show is coming to and end. This is MY Star Trek show! These are MY Star Trek characters! I will follow them wherever they go! Hopefully a sequel series, or a live action something…
Star Trek: Lower Decks returns to Paramount+ on Oct. 24, so very far in the future.

Comic-Con Cartoon Trailers Ahoy!
It’s the Sunday of San Diego Comic-Con, so it’s a good day to just dump all the great trailers we saw this weekend. Mostly it was trailers for some of my favorite cartoon shows, which are all coming back for new seasons soon. So rather than parse them out over the next week, let’s pile them on and talk about them!
First up is the trailer for season 4 of Harley Quinn. I love this show and can’t wait for more episodes!
Harley Quinn is a great show and they’ve shown no signs of slowing down as we get into more seasons. It’s maybe not as sharp as the first two seasons, which were made back-to-back, but it’s still hugely entertaining and super fun. This season we’ve been told we’ll get more focus on Poison Ivy, and watching them maintain their relationship while on different sides of the hero/villain conflict should be a hoot.
Harley Quinn season 4 comes to Max on July 27, so next week!
Next up is the first look at season two of Invincible! Love this show as well, can’t wait for new episodes!
I’ve read the entirety of the Invincible comic after buying the three big compendiums, so I’m ready to see this show go all the way. The first season was great stuff, and hopefully season 2 will continue that greatness. There’s a ton of material to work with, a ton of great moments and characters to play around with. Can’t wait to see how they do it!
Invincible season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Nov. 3.
Sticking with cartoons, how about the season 4 trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks! Between the last season and this one, I’ve watched the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1, so I’m big into Star Trek these days. I haven’t watched the crossover episode yet.
Lower Decks is a super fun show and I can’t wait to see what they do in season 4, especially with the new Vulcan character, T’Lyn joining the crew. Looks like super fun to me. All of these look like fun. All of these look like more of the same stuff that we know and love, and that’s exactly what I’d like to see with Lower Decks. They’ve been doing a great job so far, and they should nail it with a new season of hijinks and Star Trek coolness.
Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 comes to Paramount+ on Sept. 7.
Alright, three is enough for me. These are my three most excited for shows from the trailers we got. I’ll probably share some of the other trailers later.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is Free to Watch on YouTube
Just passing this along as a quality, nerdy PSA: the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is free to watch on YouTube for a limited time. I was never a Trekkie back in the day, but I’ve watched my fair share in the modern day, and I absolutely love Star Trek: Lower Decks. I’ve been meaning to give Strange New Worlds a try, but never found the time…until now! Because it’s free!
Here’s the first episode. And you can find the other nine on the Paramount+ YouTube page.
So yeah, the whole season is available to watch for free, as a promotion for the upcoming season 2. That’s a fun marketing strategy as far as I’m concerned! As of this posting, I’m six episodes in and it’s pretty good stuff. Quality, I’d say. This is a classic episode-of-the-week format, where the familiar crew of characters tackles some strange new sci-fi mystery each episode, while some longer character arcs simmer in the background. Nothing mind-blowing or anything similarly blowing me away, but I’m enjoying the show well enough, so I wanted to recommend this free watch to everybody.
And I am very much looking forward to a season two crossover between Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks, in which the animated Lower Decks characters will appear in live action.
Oh, uh, also, don’t watch this season 2 trailer unless you don’t care about spoilers and just wanna see the live action trailer cameos.
Heck yeah! How neat is that?!

Star Trek: Lower Decks is Coming Back!
I am a huge fan of Star Trek: Lower Decks. I’ve never been a big Trekkie. It just wasn’t my thing growing up. But I’ve watched a lot of modern Trek stuff and Lower Decks is my favorite. It’s a brilliant show with great characters, a great sense of humor and a real love of all things Trek. It’s great for me because I can enjoy the jokes on the show and then look them up online to get the deeper meaning.
I can’t wait for season 3. The first two seasons were friggin’ perfect, and more of this show is going to be a real treat. I want a ton of seasons! I want a full, class Star Trek show length amount! Six seasons and a movie! And we also learned at Comic-Con that Lower Decks is going to crossover with Strange New Worlds. I haven’t watched that yet but am considering it. And, for some reason, they won’t have the voice actors play the characters in live action, even though they look perfect for the live action roles. Weird choice.
But whatever, I’ll take weird choices. Star Trek: Lower Decks arrives on Paramount+ on Aug. 25! Just gotta wait another month!
