Space: the funnest frontier?!

That's how Ensign Boimler, a lower deck crew member of the U.S.S. Cerritos, describes it. And if the trailer for this new animated Star Trek show is any indication, we believe it.

CBS All Access released a trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks on Sunday. It features the antics and adventures of the "lower deck" crew members who are charged with tasks like cleaning out prison waste and servicing space vehicles — not exactly the glamorous life of a Star Trek crew member that we typically get to see.

From Mike McMahan, a writer, producer, and one-time showrunner of Rick and Morty, the new series looks like a fun, fresh take on a sci-fi classic. Star Trek: Lower Decks premieres Aug. 6 on CBS All Access.
