Fans of Star Trek: Prodigy were devastated after Paramount+ announced its cancellation, but we haven’t seen the last of this animated series just yet. Star Trek: Prodigy will return after Netflix agreed to pick it up, and they’ll proceed with the previously canceled second season.
Paramount+ removed Star Trek: Prodigy from their streaming service and canceled its second season as a part of their cost-cutting content write-down. Star Trek: Prodigy has been looking for a new home ever since, and Netflix eventually agreed to pick it up.
Star Trek: Prodigy creators Kevin and Dan Hageman and Star Trek universe chief Alex Kurtzman confirmed this show will be back, and added they’re hard at work on the second season.
“Thank you to our incredible Star Trek: Prodigy fans, who championed not just a show, but a community that’s always been connected by the belief that we build a better future together. We set out to inspire you, but you inspired us,” said the trio in a statement.
Star Trek: Prodigy was originally developed as a Nickelodeon series before heading to its affiliated streaming service Paramount+. It was meant to introduce Star Trek to a younger audience, and its voice cast included Kate Mulgrew, Brett Gray, Ella Purnell, Rylee Alazraqui, Angus Imrie, Jason Mantzoukas, Dee Bradley Baker, John Noble, and Jimmi Simpson.
