Prodigy: Season 2 And Beyond

Article arrow_drop_down

Ahead of the series officially moving to Netflix this month, Star Trek Prodigy producers Dan and Kevin Hageman have announced that the highly anticipated second season has finally been completed and ready for launch in the near future.

After being dropped by Paramount in a mass cost cutting measure earlier this year, and later given a second lease of life after Netflix secured the distribution rights in October, the future of the animated series had been worrisome despite Paramount confirming they weren’t planning on doing a ‘Batgirl’ to the show and instead looking to find a new home; something that makes sense in terms of extra income, and no sense in terms of already having their own streaming service.

Alas, by sheer irony after having their Discovery deal bought out, Netflix saving the day may not just mean a home for season 2 or the teen-targeted animation, but may have secured a much longer future as the Hagemans have already been hinting at what comes next for Dal and his makeshift crew and noting that Paramount may not be airing the show, but didn’t say they weren’t committed to funding it’s production under their Star Trek Universe banner.

And if the Hagemans get their way, they’ve said at events including STLV that they aim for three seasons and a film based on their creation.

With Season One already fully released on Netflix, Season 2 is expected to launch some time this year as most of the work on the series is completed and ready to go. Though the series has taken quite the turn following the events of the first season finale….

Now that the Protostar is long gone, Dal and crew will be under the wing of the real Janeway and her trusty aid The Doctor as she continues her mission to find the lost Captain Chakotay on board a new ship: The USS Voyager-A.

Aimed at a young adult audience as a gateway to the wider Star Trek lore, Prodigy has been a pleasant surprise for fans of all ages as the story focuses on growth, friendship and the values of Starfleet.

With an air date still to be announced, it’s been confirmed that season two will consist of twenty episodes. No announcement has yet been made on release schedule.

Star Trek Prodigy Season 1 is available in full exclusively on Netflix.

What If…. the Whales Were Never Extinct?

Fondly remembered as the lightest, more comedic entries in Star Trek's film offerings, The Voyage Home is the story of an alien probe coming to Earth to talk to it's whale pen pal, a little bit miffed that they've not had a letter in a while. In the 21st century, those pen pals – Humpback Whales – had been hunted to extinction. Meanwhile, Kirk and his disgraced crew were on the way home to stand trial and through some time warp shenanigans, take a stolen Bird of Prey back to the 20th century, kidnap some whales, and take them to the 23rd century to save the day. The charges against Kirk were a fairly big deal. Previously Kirk had stolen a soon to be retired Enterprise, went against orders and along with support from his long standing command crew barged […]

Under Pressure: ‘Orders Of Magnitude’, Strange New Worlds S4E08

Boarding as a hero and legend, Admiral Joe Reeger arrives, take command and leaves Pike stranded as he leads the remaining Enterprise crew on an urgent mission. With a visiting (again!) James Kirk picked out as first officer, Reegers mission and motivations come into question and puts Kirk's leadership to task... Writers: Alan B McElroy Director: Sharon Lewis   One thing about season four that's been a highlight through some uneven episodes is how it's guiding it's characters form our first contact with them in this series, and how we originally met them sixty years earlier. While it's been more obvious with Spock's pivot towards being closer to his logical side, we've had Chapel make the choice to become a permanent part of the Enterprise and Scotty's move towards being the 'miracle worker'. Even Pike seems to be on the […]

Days of Our Unreal Lives: ‘Like Chronitons Through The Hourglass’, Strange New Worlds S4E07

Waking up in sickbay with a comical bandage on his head following a shuttle accident, Pike quickly notices things are a bit off. The lights are too bright. The medical staff are behaving oddly with dramatic pauses aplenty. And he's fairly certain space madness isn't a genuine diagnosis. As the hour continues with devious secret siblings, dramatic feats of medicine and family drama aplenty, Pike is drawn further into the strangest of all worlds; the soap opera. Writers: Dana Horgan and Bill WolkoffDirector: Anna Dozoka Soap opera's are mental. And for a theme it's even more mental than it seems. But considering soap opera's are basically just overly dramatic premises with long lost relatives you'd never before heard of, absolutely insane scenario's that make Maggie Simpson shooting Mr Burns seem normal and plot twists so insane you genuinely have to […]
