Now that Netflix has rescued Star Trek: Prodigy from being cancelled, it's time to start thinking about Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. The series was created with younger fans in mind and follows a band of young aliens.
After being abruptly cancelled at Paramount Plus, Star Trek fans rallied around the animated series, which had already been in production on its second season. Trekkies raised money to fly a plane over various studios, hoping another streamer would give the show a second chance.
Star Trek czar Alex Kurtzman and co-showrunners Dan and Kevin Hageman thanked fans for their dedication and support. "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," they said in a joint statement. "We set out to inspire you, but you inspired us. The team is still hard at work on the second season, and we can’t wait to share it with the amazing fans around the world."
Netflix swooped in and rescued the series, picking up the rights to both the first and second seasons. Now that the show has been removed from the Paramount Plus platform, it will only be available at Netflix.
