Paramount Plus has become the home of all-new Star Trek content, and the animated kids’ series Star Trek: Prodigy is one of the biggest new hits from the ever-expanding Star Trek universe.
Star Trek: Prodigy joins Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Short Treks and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on the Paramount Plus streaming service. What makes it stand out from its sister series is that it is specifically geared toward a younger audience, a first according to Paramount Plus.
Information on Star Trek: Prodigy and all of Paramount Plus’ Star Trek series was shared during the September 2021 Star Trek Day presentation, but if you want to find out about everything you need to know about Star Trek: Prodigy, read on below.

What’s the plot of Star Trek: Prodigy
Star Trek: Prodigy follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future.
The series starts off with the young aliens working in a scrap yard where they stumble upon an abandoned Starfleet ship. Though they know nothing about space travel, together they set off on an adventure that will introduce them to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.
Star Trek: Prodigy, which will feature 20 episodes in its first season, split into two segments, was created by Dan and Kevin Hageman.

How to watch Star Trek: Prodigy
Though Star Trek: Prodigy is produced in part by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, the series is a Paramount Plus original and therefore will play exclusively on the streaming service, which means you’ll need a subscription to watch.
In addition to Star Trek: Prodigy, a Paramount Plus subscription also gives you access to all of the other Star Trek series created for the streaming service, as well as the classic TV series that initially ran on TV.
Paramount Plus also provides access to thousands of other TV shows and movies, both classic and originals.
