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.

Comms/Comms Relay Revisions from Beta Quarter 2025 Onwards
Following our last released issue of Comms as a downloadable publication, we've been moving to an easier and more accessible format by using Q2's website for various articles and updates throughout the year which has included some carry over features from Comms itself. After some trial and error experimentation, our 2025 plan began with some tests through the first quarter and a new comms line up for the site ahead of any plans by our next Fleet Comms Officer. To mirror the old style, reduce workload and offer some variety to our regular posts, we've broken down the year of updates through our operating quarters and scheduled in a rotation of our regular features to keep the fleet updated, entertained with some positive Trek hijinks and more. The current quarter (Beta Quarter: April, May, June) is the first full use […]
[Q2&A] If I Could Get Serial For A Minute…
With a long history and many people coming to SFC over the decades, there can often be a lot of curiosity for members – both old and new – about various subjects. From questions about our base structure, how to get four pips, how Q2 and Q1 diverged many moons ago.... even questions on the curse of the Daring. Sometimes we have questions where the answers are as mundane as the question. One of the most common.... what is my serial number and why do I have it? Like any account number in the known universe – whether it's your broadband provider or local Blockbusters – your service ID is a unique membership number that helps us identify each member whether we're updating a record or assessing a Fleet Support application form. With our structure and organisational systems based on […]
[Retro Review] Latent Image; Voyager S5E11
Running through annual check-ups and playing around with a 24th century version of a digital camera, the Doctor spots some weird scars on Ensign Kim. Scars that could only have come from a surgical procedure he developed, but has no memory of ever performing. The surgery isn't the only gap in the Doctors memory. What else has he forgotten? And how...? No matter the show or the season, Star Trek loves diving into the lives of it's artificial characters. Data explored everything from his basic rights to the meaning of dreams as he developed to become more of a person. For the Doctor, things had always been a bit more complicated. He was a program developed for short term use. A piece of equipment built into sickbay that could be turned off and on at will. While Deep Space Nine's […]
A New Class: Academy Revisions For The Class of 2402
It's only April and the year has been one for us to take a step back and review our operations to do some much overdue maintenance on our overall performance and offerings. One of the major hurdles for the second quarter is one of the tougher parts of Q2: The Academy. Once upon a time the Academy was a core part of the experience in joining SFC. After singing up new members would pass through the Academy, completing a series of tests before becoming an ensign, joining their unit and becoming an active member of the club. Many people over the years enjoyed the more immersive and playful nature of being part of an organisation modelled after Starfleet. Some didn't. As years went by, the franchise itself evolved, opening it's door to new fans who'd want to reach out and […]
A Fistful of Vulcan Emotions
Being a key element in the Sstar Trek lore from the very beginning, Vulcan mythology can often seem distorted by simplicity. Seen as a stoney emotionless species, their society is built on logic and science in helping them understand and navigate through the complexities of the universe. Though when it comes to them being emotionless, nothing could be farther from the truth. Once a volatile and primitive species, the Vulcan culture came from the teaching of Surak who learned to repress his violent urges and find peace within logical thought. Surak's teachings would become the basis for Vulcan core values for centuries. When it came to the original series, Vulcans were introduced through Spock – a half Vulcan with a human mother who often wrestled with the cultural norm of repressing emotions alongside the human half's more emotional state. Over […]
[Retro Review] Year Of Hell: Voyager Season 4
Embracing all aspects of science fiction has been Star Trek's thing since it's inception and time travel was no exception. Ever since the first time travel adventure with Kirk's Enterprise ending up in the 1960's, we've seen the various crews out of time and desperately trying not to change their own history. In one adventure, history would constantly change around the USS Voyager. One of the most memorable and loved two parters, Year of Hell remains a symbol of how desperate the situation could have been for the Voyager crew. As Janeway negotiations with an alien species for free travel through their region, a small annoyance of a ship interrupts them. Then suddenly, the timeline changed. The aliens, the Zahl, were gone. Erased from history. And the unsophisticated Krenim ship that was no match for Voyager one second was now […]
