Star Trek Prodigy Season 2: Everything we know
When the show was canceled by Paramount, all hopes of us seeing Star Trek Prodigy Season 2 were lost. But Netflix came to the rescue, and we now have a lot of details on the animated series ahead of its release this year.
TheStar Trek timelineis vast, and growing rapidly, too. But, while you’ll find mostStar Trek showson Paramount+ these days, there is one exception.
The studio abandoned the family friendly animated show, Star Trek Prodigy after one season, and even removed the first instalment from itsstreaming service.
Still, with Netflix picking up the pieces, here’s what we know about Star Trek Prodigy Season 2.
Is there a Star Trek Prodigy Season 2 release date?
There is no release date at this time. All we know is Star Trek Prodigy will return atsome point in 2024.
Netflix likes to keep its cards close to its chest when it comes to release dates, and we’re unlikely to learn an exact date until roughly a month before the show drops. With no news yet, it’s looking likely to be fall 2024 when Prodigy arrives.
With 20 episodes, it remains to be seen whether we’ll get them all at once, or if Netflix will split theTV showin two just as Paramount did.
Curiously, the show has already aired in France earlier this year. It is said a miscommunication allowed French public television network, France Télévisions, to show the new episodes early by accident.
Who’s in the cast?
The voice cast from Star Trek Prodigy Season 1 is returningfor Season 2.
Kate Mulgrew leads the line as Admiral Janeway (previously Captain Janeway, but she’s moved up in the world). The actor previously played theStar Trek captainin Voyager.

Exciting additions to the cast are expected, with one in particular already known.Robert Picardois jumping on board to play The Doctor once more, after playing the role in Voyager.
What will happen in Star Trek Prodigy Season 2?
Just like the first season,Prodigy will likely follow a general episodic journey, with an overarching story at the core of the series.
That means lots of different and exciting adventures for the whole crew. There were lots of narrative threads left dangling at the end of the first season, so we expect those to be picked up.
First of all, Janeway needs to head into an alternate, future timeline to rescue Captain Chakotay. Meanwhile, Gwyn is on Solum in the 24th century trying to prevent all-out civil war.
According to the show’s producers, Prodigy Season 2 will feature connections to every Star Trek series. There will even be one episode that’ll revive a classic Star Trek rivalry, too, though what exactly that means is a mystery at this stage.
Is there a trailer?
There isno trailerat this moment in time.
We know Netflix usually drop trailers about a month beforenew TV shows stream, so once a release date is announced we will have a much better idea of trailer dates, too.
How to watch Star Trek Prodigy
The only way to watch both seasons of Star Trek Prodigy will be viaNetflix.
After the streamer bought the rights to the show and saved it from extinction, aNetflix subscriptionwill be needed to catch up and keep up.
