Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

I don't see why they'd have a problem with two Trek series airing at the same time. It was never seen as a bad thing back when DS9 overlapped with TNG and VGR. And since Prodigy is a kids' show, it's not even aimed at the same target audience.

 

Maybe, but they know it's aimed at the Trekkie community, too.

 

This is Paramount+. Since when have their marketing strategies made sense?

 

Seems obvious to me that the most likely date for season 2 is December 2024, one year after the first season. Either that or it'll just turn up one day with little to no publicity.

 

Sitting on this series all the way to December while Season 2 has already been out in one part of the world seems to me like a really dumb decision.

I was hoping it would be at least Summer before the French version got released. Now I just feel like they are stalling and they shouldn't. Discovery ends this week. Bring out Prodigy next week.

 

Outside of their biggest meal tickets like Stranger Things, Netflix is notoriously awful at properly promoting and releasing their shows.

 

I fear that may be the case. The Hagemans and/or Waltke had explained that netflix likes to aim their children programming at the vacation periods to get maximum potential, and due to people travelling the summer vacation may not be the best option. Late December may be the most optimal from their pov.

 

June 30!

 

28 days!

 

Six months after the first season.

Will the episodes be released weekly or will they release the whole lot at once?

 

Damn, that didn't even occur to me.

All 20 episodes of season 2 were released at once in France and Netflix released season 1 at once, so I wouldn't be surprised if all the episodes come out the same day.

 

And there it is after Discovery ends.

 

Yeah, but what country is that? Its not listed in my app that way in the U.S. But it does say "New Season Coming Soon" on the thumbnail. Also, the way the date is listed tells me its not the U.S.

It absolutely could be coming 6/30 globally but we just haven't seen an official announcement yet. (Not sure that we will.)

 

Check the “Hot & New” tab of your Netflix app. It is there in the US as July 1st.

 

Well, it's better than end of the year!
