News Star Trek Prodigy Cancelled, Season 2 to be shopped around

I should've known something was up when they cancelled the Hologram Janeway figure release. :(
 
Well no, actually. Fox, specifically Al Lad Jr., had confidence that it would be a good support movie incase their big budget film of the year, "Damnation Alley," flopped. He felt that Lucas had a decent idea that could be marketable for a nice family summer movie and give them a little more money. It was not expected to explode as it did.
For those unfamiliar with Damnation Alley, here is the trailer:

This is disgusting.

Additionally: The trend of digital media disappearing --- which, to me, seems to be the exact opposite of the point of digital media --- is so callous and stupic.

Money-grubbing cruelty, not just to the fan community (I think that's actually one of the smallest sins) but to all the people who worked on the show and to the preservation of human culture. Maximum bad.

As long as we can still buy Prodigy on physical media such as DVD and we have novelisations, the show will live on. I am sure that Prodigy will still be available on Apple TV.
 
Amazon recently bought the rights to streaming an upcoming Batman animated series so I can see them buying Prodigy. Netflix has quite a few animated series so they may be interested too. Hopefully one of them will pick Prodigy up.
Could YouTube not be a potential streaming service for Prodigy? They usually offer Star Trek shows for free, but this could be their first Trek exclusive for their premium service? :shrug:
 
I wonder if the cancelation might have something to do with their plans for Legacy.
Only if what has already been filmed for Prodigy season 2 contradicts Legacy canon.

*EDIT*
But surely season 2 Prodigy is already canon?
