Star Trek: Prodigy has a premiere date for its second season. Netflix has announced that new episodes of the animated sci-fi series will arrive on July 1st. Per What’s On Netflix, the season consists of 20 episodes, but it is not known if Netflix will split the season into two parts.
The animated series, produced for younger viewers, features the voices of Brett Gray, Ella Purnell, Jason Mantzoukas, Angus Imrie, Rylee Alazraqui, Dee Bradley Baker, Jimmi Simpson, John Noble, and Kate Mulgrew. The story follows a group of young aliens after they commandeer an abandoned ship, the USS Protostar, and travel through space, headed toward the Alpha Quadrant. They are guided by a hologram of Star Trek: Voyager’s Captain Kathryn Janeway (Mulgrew).
The Star Trek: Prodigy series initially aired on Paramount+, but the streaming service cancelled the series while season two was being produced. In October 2023, Netflix picked up the rights to air both seasons.
Season two will find the young aliens continuing their journey to join Starfleet. Along the way, they are called to join the real Admiral Kathryn Janeway aboard the USS Voyager-A. Their mission is to find the original crew of the Protostar.
Netflix and the series’ writers announced the show’s second season launch via social media.
See you soon, cadets.
