Despite having already showcased the trailer for Season 2, back in June Paramount announced that they were cancelling the popular young adult animation, Star Trek Prodigy, and soon enough it vanished from the streaming service. Since then fans have rallied hard to save the popular show, while the producers have shoppped around to find a new home for the series. And now it looks like it’s heading to Netflix for the long anticipated Season 2!
Prodigy’s cancellation was one of the big surprises of the year. After a successful first run on the joint Nickelodeon-Paramount venture, as well as some exciting times ahead with the season two trailer showing the debut of the USS Voyager-A and a familiar returning face in the ships former EMH, Paramounts changing strategy saw a lot of cuts.
Though it was no secret that the plan seemed to be to find a new home for the show, the fact that the show was removed so swiftly from Paramount+ was concerning to many. Especially with Star Trek day coming and going, celebrating animation, and yet Prodigy was no where to be seen. The news – coming from industry press including Variety and Deadline – means that Prodigy will arrive internationally on Netfllix later this year with Season 2 set to debut early 2024.
In a joint statement from Alex Kurtzman and Prodigy producers the Hageman Brothers, the trio thanked fans for their campaigns and works of encouragement in helping reach the Netflix agreement. “We set out to inspire you but you inspired us.” The statement read before clarifying the state of pay for season 2, “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.”
Netflix itself played a huge part in the current era of Star Trek. While Discovery helped launch CBS All Access – now branded as Paramount+, Netflix carried the torch for the international market before Paramount pulled the plug on the Netflix deal, leaving fans in Quadrant 2 and beyond waiting nearly a year for Paramount+ to launch outside the US. It seems fitting that after that disappointment, Netflix has been the one to help save Prodigy

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 […]
