Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 release date, trailer and latest news
The animated children's series revives after a close brush with cancellation.
Star Trek fans, rejoice - Prodigy soon goes boldly into a new era, with the children's animation leaping from Paramount Plus to Netflix for its much-anticipated second season.
The series brings back Voyager protagonist Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), who takes a ragtag group of young aliens under her wing after they stumble upon a seemingly abandoned Starfleet ship.
Season 2 will see the admiral and her new mentees venture out into space in search of the original owners of the USS Protostar, with Dal R'El (Brett Gray), Gwyndala (Ella Purnell) and friends becoming official crew members aboard the Voyager-A.
After a close brush with cancellation, fans can now look forward to 20 more episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy – read on to find out exactly when you can watch on Netflix.
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 release date
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will be available to stream on Netflix from Monday 1st July 2024.
The second season will consist of 20 episodes in total (matching the first), which will be released simultaneously in one bulk drop.
It's a great result for fans of the series, who were given quite the scare when Paramount Plus announced it had scrapped the show midway through production on season 2.
An exhaustive fan campaign – which included flying a plane with a Prodigy banner above the offices of the major streaming services – swayed Netflix into completing and releasing the 20 additional episodes.
We'll just have to wait and see if the story will continue beyond this point.
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 cast
Star Trek: Prodigy has a star-studded voice cast, which includes Kate Mulgrew back in the role of Kathryn Janeway after decades away from Gene Roddenberry's sci-fi universe.
The series co-stars Brett Gray (On My Block) as Dal R'El, Ella Purnell (Fallout) as Gwyn, Jason Mantzoukas (Invincible) as Jankom Pog, Angus Imrie (The Archers) as Zero and Dee Bradley Baker (Star Wars: The Bad Batch) as Murf.
Viewers should also listen out for Jimmi Simpson (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as Drednok and John Noble (Fringe) as the Diviner, while notable guest stars include Jameela Jamil (She-Hulk), Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) and Daveed Diggs (Snowpiercer).
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 plot
Star Trek: Prodigy showrunners Dan and Kevin Hageman teased that the latest batch of episodes are a "culmination" of the story, which sees the young crew "earn" the ship that they stole in the first outing.
They'll also be looking for the original owners of the USS Protostar, with help from their mentor: Admiral Janeway.
