Star Trek Animated Series 'Prodigy' Finds New Home on Netflix After #SaveStarTrekProdigy Campaign

During the Star Trek Universe Panel at New York Comic Con, Alex Kurtzman, the executive producer, discussed the successful #SaveStarTrekProdigy campaign and announced that the animated series Prodigy has been picked up by Netflix. Kurtzman credited the fans for their immense support in bringing back the show, stating that their efforts had not been seen since the original Star Trek series.

Fans' Campaign and Aerial Banner

Kurtzman acknowledged the passionate #SaveStarTrekProdigy campaign that included a change.org petition with over 35,000 signatures and a fan-funded aerial banner flying over the Hollywood offices of Netflix. The banner featured the message "SAVE STAR TREK PRODIGY." Additionally, fans demonstrated their support by purchasing the first season home media releases, resulting in Part 1 selling out shortly after the show's removal from Paramount+ and Part 2 debuting on the Media Play Top 20 Sales Chart.

Season 2 Progress and Netflix Release Plans

Netflix will be releasing all 20 episodes of the first season of Star Trek: Prodigy later this year. The second season is currently in progress and is planned for release in 2024. While Netflix usually releases entire seasons at once, it is speculated that the 20-episode season 2 will be split into two 10-episode releases, following the structure of the first season's 10-episode arcs.

Aaron Waltke, the co-executive producer of Prodigy, provided an update on season 2's development, expressing excitement about how fantastic the episodes are turning out. He mentioned that the team will soon begin working on the final mix for the remaining episodes, eagerly anticipating the release of season 2 on Netflix in 2024.
