This might be why they're moving on:

EXCLUSIVE - NEW Star Trek Series In-Development – Trek Central

Execs are concerned that Treksters are aging away but they cancel the kids show. Silly geese.

Probably cos only 40somethings were watching it, and didn't buy the toys. I suspect Starfleet Scouts will be aimed even younger.

It's still a business.

They won't, rumor is Netflix got badly burned by DSC international syndication, so Paramount offloaded PICARD onto Amazon, and then they got burned bad.
Netflix obviously would fight to keep PRO on longer, but we can guess the internal viewership numbers must have been abysmal for them not just to pass on an S3 but letting both S1 and S2 fizzle away.

Well, IDK what else can be done.

Someone could mkae a PRO trilogy. Each film could be made for under 100M; it’s possible to make animated films with that budget. And then those films are broken up into episodes later and that is S3. Will anyone take that chance though?

To be fair the Prodigy marketing was crap. They didn't have much toys or merchandise to buy.

And didn't complete the line.

Was there any at all?

Maybe some, but there was such a missed opportunity not to get a Murph plushy out for the Holidays and I could barely find a quality Prodigy shirt. It was terrible.

 

[Oddish]

True enough. I looked online for Murf plushie and mostly found SMURF plush.

Yes, I did watch the Smurfs as a kid, but was never seriously into it.

I remember waiting for the announcement of the USS Protostar by Playmates. That was the only thing of the show that I really wanted to buy.
But when figures of the show were canceled I realized that the Protostar would be next even when Playmates mentioned in an article it was going to focus on ships and play accessories such as phasers and tricorders.

Hey, how are the Prodigy kids doing?
