Netflix has set Monday, July 1, for the release of Star Trek: Prodigy season two, according to the streamer's app.
Netflix picked up the series last October after Paramount+ decided in June to remove a number of Originals, including Star Trek: Prodigy, from the platform as part of a round of budget cuts and not to continue with the previously ordered twenty-episode season of the animated series, which was already being worked on.
This is the third home for Star Trek: Prodigy, which was originally a Nickelodeon series given its younger demographic that doesn't match the rest of the franchise. The series then migrated to Paramount+.
Star Trek: Prodigy follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together as they navigate a larger galaxy in search of a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have seized - a first for the Star Trek franchise - but over the course of their adventures they are introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.
The series was developed by Emmy winners Kevin and Dan Hageman, along with Star Trek universe chief Alex Kurtzman and his team at Secret Hideout.
Star Trek: Prodigy is from CBS Studios' Eye Animation Productions; Nickelodeon Animation; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment. Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Aaron Baiers, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers, alongside co-showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman.
Ben Hibon directs, produces and is in charge of the animated series. Aaron Waltke and Patrick Krebs also currently serve as co-executive producers.
