Star Trek: Prodigy Heading to Netflix

Star Trek: Prodigy has a new home with Netflix. The series was inexplicably cancelled and removed from streaming by Paramount+ earlier this year in some bizarre cost saving measure that never really made sense to anyone except Wall Street. The deal allows Netflix to stream both seasons of the series. 

Starting later this year, the first 20 episode season of the series will premiere on the streamer both in the US and most places internationally depending on if the series didn't already have a home (CTV.ca, and SkyShowtime). 

Despite its cancellation, contractual obligations required the completion of the 20 episode second season which is expected to be finished by end of the year. Netflix is planning to premiere season 2 at some point in 2024. There is no indication one way or the other if the streaming rights include ability to produce further seasons of the series.

"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,” Kurtzman, Dan and Kevin Hageman 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.”

Kate Mulgrew, voice of Admiral Janeway, wrote "A heartfelt thank you to our fans for their unwavering support (the plane!!) and to @netflix for giving #StarTrekProdigy a new home. We have, truly, only just begun". It included an image that said "I've always held that the Star Trek fan base is among the strongest and most intelligent in the world. They have shown collective passion, and we're happy to be able to celebrate Prodigy once again."
