Star Trek: Prodigy will be heading into uncharted territory on Netflix since leaving Paramount+. Trekkies now will have a chance to watch the animated Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1, as it begins streaming on Netflix later this year, according to Animation Magazine. Additionally, Season 2 of the kids' series is in production and set to be released in 2024.
Originally, the show was on Paramount+. However, it was removed from the streaming platform in June when Showtime merged with them.
“Thank you to our incredible Star Trek: Prodigy fans, who championed not just a show, but a community that's always been connected by the belief that we build a better future together,” executive producer Alex Kurtzman and co-showrunners Dan and Kevin Hageman stated.
“We set out to inspire you, but you inspired us. The team is still hard at work on the second season, and we can't wait to share it with the amazing fans around the world,” they added.

The series is developed by Kevin and Dan Hageman, both Emmy Award winners.
