Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 Will Be Even Bigger Than Season 1
: Based on the production schedule for Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, the initial plan was for the first 10 episodes to be released on Paramount+ in the fall. However, the series was suddenly canceled. Once Prodigy finds a new streaming distributor, it is possible that all 20 episodes of season 2 will be ready for uninterrupted release, rather than being split into two sets of 10 episodes like Paramount+ did for season 1 of Star Trek: Prodigy.Star Trek: Prodigy's second season is expected to surpass the ambitions of its first installment, with tantalizing hints from the producers and a captivating 4-minute clip unveiled at STLV. Admiral Janeway will lead the way alongside the diverse former crew members of the USS Protostar, who have now become aspiring cadets at Starfleet Academy. Their mission is to guide the highly advanced starship USS Voyager-A through a wormhole, aiming to rescue Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) from the clutches of an alternate future on the planet Solum. In the midst of this daring endeavor, Gwyn (Ella Purnell) embarks on a journey to the 24th-century Solum, determined to prevent the future conflict between the Vau N'Akat and Starfleet.
That is only a small fraction of what the producers of Star Trek: Prodigy have hinted at for season 2. Aaron J. Waltke views Prodigy not only as a follow-up to Star Trek: Voyager, but as a continuation of the entire Star Trek franchise. Additionally, Waltke has mentioned that Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will be connected to the broader Star Trek universe. Executive producers Kevin and Dan Hageman have informed fans at STLV that they are highly confident that ongoing negotiations will secure a new streaming platform for Star Trek: Prodigy. This means that fans will have the opportunity to witness the realization of the creators' ambitious plans for season 2.
