Since the announcement that Prodigy would be moving to Netflix following the cancellation of the animated series by Paramount+, it looks like we finally have a release date for Dal and the crews next mission!
Created by the Hageman brothers in partnership with Nickelodeon, Prodigy’s first season followed misfit incarcerated teens as they discovered a lost Starship underneath their prison and used it to escape. Throughout the series the rogue group became a crew as they learned about the Starfleet ways from a holographic training program modelled on Kathryn Janeway, while running from the Diviner towards Federation space for sanctuary. Based on the idea of creating an introductory series for younger fans, Prodigy was quick to become a favourite for it’s slow burning story telling and animation style before Paramount’s reshuffling in recent years heading towards a sale of the media giant resulted in some unfortunate cuts.
At the time Prodigy’s second season was already mostly complete and teasers had shown some interesting hints at the next chapter. Released in two parts, the first season closed with Dal and the crew on Earth following the destruction of the USS Protostar and ready for their next adventure. Now under the guidance of the real Admiral Janeway, with the knowledge that the ships captain Chakotay was trapped in the future, the second season looks to be a bit of a Voyager reunion with the mission to retrieve Chakotay combined with new cameo’s including Voyager’s former EMH.
If that wasn’t good enough, the Protostar needed a replacement and thanks to the teaser, we’ll also be introduced to the USS Voyager-A following the original ship becoming a museum in Lower Decks’ era.
And that new chapter is coming very, very soon. Netflix has announced that Prodigy Season 2 will release in it’s entirety on July 1st for a chunk of European markets via both Netflix and in partnership with SkyShowtime.
Until then, Prodigy’s first season is available on Netflix now to catch up or rewatch!

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 […]
