Although eagerly anticipated Star Trek shows are on the horizon, some members of the fanbase are disheartened following news that another highly regarded series, Star Trek: Prodigy, is likely to vanish. Netflix has reportedly scheduled two removals of the series, without any confirmed plans for a third season to appear elsewhere. Initially, I thought this spelled doom for the show’s renewal, but the creators’ recent remarks have offered me a glimmer of hope that things might take a different turn.
Shortly after the announcement of Star Trek: Prodigy, Kevin and Dan Hageman had a chat with X. They offered valuable insights into the show’s removal, explaining that it was mainly due to the license expiring rather than any other reason. Although fans might lose access to it through Netflix eventually, the brothers are optimistic that another streaming service will take over. In their own words: “We hope another platform will step in.
It’s troubling to consider the potential removal of Star Trek: Prodigy from Netflix, but rest assured, this isn’t due to low viewership or any suspicious reasons. Instead, the licensing agreements for Season 1 expire on June 24, and Season 2 on December 31. Here’s hoping another platform will take it up, as the next wave of Trek enthusiasts truly deserve to enjoy this series.
I’m crossing my fingers that they’re correct, and that within a year from now, we’ll either find “Star Trek: Prodigy” on Paramount+ or another streaming platform for everyone, young and old, to enjoy. It would certainly be wonderful if the series could rejoin the lineup with all the other shows available with a Paramount+ subscription, even if it doesn’t look like there are plans for additional seasons at this point.
Regarding the likelihood of Star Trek: Prodigy continuing for another season, here’s something to ponder: Kate Mulgrew has hinted at reprising her role as Janeway in live-action. This makes me wonder if there are plans afoot to bring this about. However, if such a scenario unfolds, it could potentially pose challenges for a series like Prodigy, as managing the same character across two shows concurrently might prove tricky, especially when maintaining consistency with canon is crucial.
Simultaneously, actor Robert Kazinsky from Section 31 has shared that the Star Trek franchise aims to attract new viewers. One potential method could be through an animated series that appeals to a younger demographic. Although I can’t verify the show’s success or audience numbers, such productions tend to stay on streaming platforms indefinitely. Investing in this animated series, even if it means financial losses, serves as an entry point for a younger audience and ultimately benefits the overall Star Trek franchise.
Beyond the upcoming seasons of “Strange New Worlds” and “Starfleet Academy,” it’s uncertain what else is in store from the “Star Trek” universe. There might be proposals for content tailored for a younger demographic, or a series that doesn’t require extensive knowledge of the franchise to enjoy. We can only trust that there are plans in motion, and hopefully, this means we’ll see more of “Prodigy.
Star Trek: Prodigy can currently be found on Netflix, but take note that Season 1 will no longer be available starting June 24th. If you haven’t had the chance to watch it yet, now would be the perfect time to do so, as there’s uncertainty about when or if it might return to streaming platforms again.
