Netflix has announced that new episodes of the animated science fiction series will debut on Monday, July 1. According to What's On Netflix, the season consists of twenty episodes, but it is unknown whether Netflix will split the season into two parts.
The Star Trek: Prodigy series initially aired on Paramount+, but the streaming service canceled the series while season two was being produced. In October 2023, Netflix picked up the rights to broadcast both seasons.
In season two, the young aliens continue their journey to join Starfleet. Along the way, they are called to join the real Admiral Kathryn Janeway aboard the USS Voyager-A. Their mission is to find the original crew of the Protostar.
