Resurrected by Netflix and zooming onto their streaming platform starting on July 1, 2024, the award-winning animated children’s series, “Star Trek: Prodigy,” is cleared for launch and CBS Studios has just revealed the thrilling first trailer and key art for its next 20-episode mission.
This highly underrated project was developed by Emmy Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman (“Trollhunters,” “Ninjago”) in collaboration with Alex Kurtzman to be the first all-ages “Star Trek” show out of spacedock, “Star Trek: Prodigy” premiered on Paramount+ in the fall of 2021 hauling a 20-episode split season that ended in December of 2022.
The colorful kids’ show centered around a rowdy gang of alien teenagers on the mining colony of Tars Lamora outside Federation space who discover an abandoned Starfleet ship, the USS Protostar, and must band together to escape from the Delta Quadrant all while learning about Starfleet during their cosmic misadventures.
Following its cancellation at its original home at Paramount+, Trekkies demanded that the series live long and prosper and mounted a serious online campaign to keep the show traveling at warp speed. Netflix thankfully came to the rescue and re-released the premiere season last Christmas to prep fans for the new adventures.
