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!

A Fistful of O’Brien
Entering the Star Trek world as an unnamed extra with a few bits of dialogue, O'Brien soon became a fixture on the Enterprise D as it's transporter chief before moving to Deep Space Nine to head up engineering and operations on what was thought to be a backwater outpost before it became one of the most strategically important stations in the quadrant!As the only enlisted or non commissioned officer to feature in the main cast of any Star Trek show to date, O'Brien stands as the only working class hero in the Star Trek universe with a vast and varied career taking from the front lines of the Cardassian war as a soldier, to the front lines of the Dominion War as an engineer, retrofitting DS9, keeping the Defiant from blowing itself apart, and even sniping Dominion troops. All in […]
[Q2&A] Career Track
SFC has always structured it's internal reward and recognition system on the command structure of Starfleet on screen. Newbies are cadets. When they become full members, they become Ensigns. And those eager to take on a leadership role can rank up to Commander or Captain. Even the board of directors are mirrored within the theme as Commodores and Admirals! It's always been the way, but the path of an officer isn't for everyone... Despite the original idea of all star ship personnel being highly trained astronauts, therefore nullifying the need for enlisted crew, the enlisted ranks have existed in some form since the original series. More defined in the film era, particularly under the revision of style and structure in The Wrath of Khan, they have been slightly more prominent since. Most notable of the enlisted members of Starfleet was […]

Sixty Year Mission…
It's been a really weird year already for the world of Star Trek fans. We started 2026 with a new venture into a strange new future with Starfleet Academy. Then just as the show had won people over, we found out it's the latest in a long list of recent productions to get a cancellation order, is a bit of a weird way to start the 60th anniversary of a legendary franchise. The past few years we've kind of spoiled. Growing up it was exciting to have Deep Space Nine run alongside the Next Generation. In modern times we had multiple shows going at once with Discovery's launch spawning a new world of story telling from revisiting Picard in his post-Starfleet years, to animated comedy with Lower Decks, to finally telling the story of Captain Pike and even a peek […]
[Retro Review] Let This Be Your Last Battlefield
Often shown in highlight reels and quoted in discussions about Star Trek's more forward thinking messages, Let This Be Your Last Battlefield is at it's simplest, a story of the ridiculousness of segregation. En route to a vital mission of mercy, Kirk and his crew end up in the middle of a political minefield. Interrupted in the mission by a stolen Federation shuttle carrying an injured alien, Lokai from the planet Cheron, they're soon further interrupted by Commissioner Bele, an official representing Cheron who announces Lokai as a political traitor and demanding custody. One asylum request later, Kirk's stuck between the two trying to find the right course of action knowing he has orders to follow beyond the situation. The separation between Belle and Lokai is a simple context. And also a strangely charged one looking at it from a […]
