Star Trek: Prodigy Finds New Home At Netflix

[Eduardo]

After a break, the Star Trek franchise is returning to Netflix. The global streamer has picked up the animated kids series for the U.S. and most international territories in a deal with CBS Studios.

Season 1 of Star Trek: Prodigy, which was previously available on Paramount+, will be released on Netflix later in 2023. The second season, currently in production, will debut on Netflix in 2024. Excluded from the deal are Canada, where Prodigy is carried by CTV.ca and the CTV App, and in SkyShowtime’s European territories: the Nordics, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Central and Eastern Europe.

Good news! I was starting to get worried, it had been quiet for a while.

 

[Campe]

Yay!

Question is whether season two will drop all at once or weekly.

Great news! Prodigy Lives!

Great news. I still wish it was Apple TV+ but at Least now we know Prodigy has a future.

 

[El Maestro]

Huzzah! Good news.

 

[Commander Troi]

I can only imagine poor Sean Ferrick doing Ups and Downs for 20 episodes released at once.

 

[Turbo]

Yay!

That's a very good question but I can't remember any Netflix shows that dropped weekly. They might split the season into two batches of 10 episodes each, which they've done with other series.

 

[Farscape One]

THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!!!

I was actually betting on Netflix grabbing it, if any streaming service would, because they had all the ST shows a while back.

 

[HotRod]

Being the seasons are 20 episodes, they'll probably drap the first 10 all at once, wait a few months, and then drop the rest.

Arcane maybe? but it was still 3 episodes a week.

People are celebrating!

 

[ELCHawk]

Early birthday gift! So excited. Make sure you get as many people to watch it so it can have more seasons! It is such a great show!

 

[Takeru]

Yes! I hope it does well for Netflix and there'll be more after season 2.

 

[Timofnine]

Yaaaaay amazing news!!!

Wonderful news! Happy it is Netflix, which I already have anyway. Thanks for everybody here who contributed by our various actions.

No talk about season 3, but even if it would only be season 2 in the end, it's still a win.
I guess season 3 is still possible if the show gets good numbers on Netflix.

I think we must also thank the Hagemans for their good, already existing relationship with Netflix.
