Didn’t see this coming. Prodigy EPs the Brothers Hageman have dropped a scene from season two, episode one.
And it’s on the official StarTrek.com site.
My spouse is muttering ‘makes no sense at all…’
I’m enjoying just having gorgeous new Prodigy animation to see. And those of you who love a great flyby of a new ship - get ready!
I normally avoid trailers and clips but couldn’t resist this time.
I was grinning through the whole thing! So happy that it’s looking so likely that we’re going to get the second season.
Big thank you for posting this

Doesn’t hurt to be optimistic.
Also doesn’t hurt if we are all supporting this show both by being vocal online and (if people
can afford it) supporting with our wallets. Physical blu-ray (my preference after how much digital and streaming has messed us around) or digital sales.
What a great first peek. I love seeing the Doctor. I’m happy to see this clip’s release, but I’m staying with cautiously optimistic about the where and when of Prodigy’s future home and seasons, and the availability for viewing of season 2. Leaning towards optimistic because someone had to give permission to release the clip. Paramount+ maybe? Until Prodigy has a new home, I’m guessing that Paramount+ owns the rights to Prodigy.
I don’t doubt that there are parties interested in carrying the show. They would gain a show with a preexisting, supportive fan base and become a part of the Star Trek realm.
All in all, an impressive response by Star Trek fans to Prodigy and the creative team’s poor treatment by Paramount+. Go team Star Trek fans!
We did it, everybody!
Not sure it’s uncanceled quite yet…
Is this marketing ahead of landing in its new home, or has Paramount decided to reverse its decision for streaming at leas? (It pretty clear that Nickelodeon can’t afford it for linear.)
The Hagemans are still referring to a ‘new home.’
It’s very interesting that startrek.com hasn’t acknowledged the cancellation even once.
It’s been altogether strangely managed from a strategic communications angle.
Did Paramount realize how badly they screwed up with the cancellation?
This is coming out of a presentation at Star Trek Las Vegas by the Hagemans.
TrekMovie.com is quoting them as follows:
Right now, there are active talks happening and I’m being 100% honest with you, we are 99% confident that there will be a new home for our show.
@StillPaisleyCat @e_t_ oh that sounds promising. :)
Knowing a few people who have worked on series that ended up looking for new networks, I feel pretty confident that for zillions of reasons (both legal and promotional) they would never have shown this footage if it wasn’t basically a done deal –– this is just marketing to see us go bananas over the Doctor before they reveal the streaming deal. Which –– I could not believe it when I woke up this morning because I was totally sure all the “new home” stuff was entirely wishful thinking and that Prodigy was fully dead.
Here is hoping for a camo by Ensign Harry Kim.
Lieutenant Kim, one hopes.
My 8-year-old daughter loves Prodigy, and we’ve started dipping into Voyager (after 50,000 rewatches of every Lower Decks episode except the Billups one), and she loves it, but every time Harry Kim is on screen she lets out this teenagery exaggerated groan of annoyance (I’ve never connected more with another human being). I’m so hoping he shows up on Prodigy because it would be hilarious how angry she’d be.
Thank you for posting this. It is the first I heard about it. OP - you have made my day!
More than welcome.
I confess I was up later than I should have been putting pixels on our StarTrek Canvas space. When I saw that breaking, I knew folks here would want the news asap.
If there’s going to be more voyager characters I really hope Neelix gets a cameo for an episode. I’d love to see him back in the kitchen with Jankom taste testing lol
Screw STD I want Prodigy season 2.
Why are you getting downvoted? Prodigy >>> STD
I would suspect it’s because everyone has their own, individual tastes, and even for the people who prefer PRO, most of them don’t feel the childish need to disparage another show they like less or dislike.
I suspect many of us also take exception to the intransigent insistence on using the perjorative ‘STD’ when that is not and never has been the short form for Discovery. (We haven’t see ST:TOS and ST:TNG in use in decades.)
I love Prodigy and am advocating strongly for its return. What I have no tolerance for is denigrating another show in the franchise, that has been successful in its own audience niche, to promote the ones I most wish to see.
Chances are there are marketing bots at play in prep for STD Season 5
I’m sorry, I must have missed something. Is it not cancelled anymore?
When the cancellation was reported, it was also said that the second season would be completed, and that the studio was actively shopping the series around for a buyer.
oh, got it. Thanks!
Annotations here.
I see they’ve not done anything to rectify the horror show that is Rok-Tahk’s mouth.
