Star Trek: Prodigy has found a new home. Paramount+ cancelled the sci-fi animated series in June before the second season was completed. Season one is coming to Netflix later this year and the second season will arrive on the streamer in 2024, once the episodes have been completed.
Featuring the voices of Brett Gray, Ella Purnell, Jason Mantzoukas, Angus Imrie, Rylee Alazraqui, Dee Bradley Baker, Jimmi Simpson, John Noble, and Kate Mulgrew, the series follows a group of young aliens as they travel through space in an abandoned starship and head to the Alpha quadrant.
Along the way, they are aided by the ship’s Emergency Training Holographic Advisor, who has the likeness and voice of Captain Katherine Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager.

What do you think? Are you happy to hear that Star Trek: Prodigy has been saved? Do you plan to watch the series’ return on Netflix?
Same here. The story in season one wasn’t that original and yet it was more enjoyable than many other series. Don’t know if it is me, but most animated series have become better than their live action counterparts.
It is definitely aimed at a younger audience, but it isn’t punishment to have to watch this with your offspring in a parental role.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It seemed aimed at kids, who will love it too but as you watch and get into the storylines, it shows it’s appeal to all, which is one of the key premises of Star Trek.
Glad to see season 2 coming but a shame that we have to wait so long to see it.
I love all things Star Trek. But this was a rare miss.
