Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, according to executive producer Aaron J. Waltke, will connect with all the other shows in the Star Trek franchise. Paramount+ canceled Star Trek: Prodigy in June, leading to the removal of all 20 episodes of season 1 from the platform. However, the producers of Star Trek: Prodigy are still working on completing season 2 and are actively searching for a new streaming platform for this beloved animated series that caters to audiences of all ages. Season 2 of Star Trek: Prodigy aims to surpass the scope and scale of its predecessor. Before the panel discussion at STLV: 57-Year Mission, Aaron J. Waltke, the executive producer, gave an exclusive interview to Screen Rant, where he was questioned about a tweet he had posted hinting at an episode in season 2 that would bring together 56 years of Star Trek lore, canon, and legacy.
Gosh, I wish that there was a way I can express this idea without violating an NDA. What I can mention is that each Star Trek show incorporates certain aspects that intertwine, including elements from shows we are actively collaborating with, potentially even Starfleet Academy. There are various storylines from other shows that intriguingly come into play, with our own cast delivering exceptional performances and the possibility of encountering some familiar faces.
Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 Is Much More Than A Voyager Sequel
Star Trek: Prodigy was initially envisioned as a semi-sequel to Star Trek: Voyager. It featured the beloved characters of Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway and Hologram Janeway, voiced by Kate Mulgrew, as well as Captain Chakotay, portrayed by Robert Beltran. The series takes place in the Delta Quadrant, the same region explored by the USS Voyager. However, Aaron J. Waltke's intriguing hints indicate that Prodigy season 2 will surpass the numerous connections to Star Trek lore seen in season 1. These connections range from the heartfelt tribute to Star Trek: The Original Series in the episode "All The World's A Stage," to the special appearances by iconic characters like Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), Odo (Rene Auberjonois), and Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). Additionally, Star Trek: The Next Generation guest stars Admiral Jellico (Ronny Cox) and Thadiun Okona (Billy Campbell) will also make a comeback.
The clip shown at STLV confirms that the Star Trek: Voyager connection in Prodigy season 2 is strengthened, with the return of The Doctor and the introduction of the Lamarr Class USS Voyager-A. This season will follow a mission to save Chakotay from an alternate future timeline. Additionally, Aaron J. Waltke's hints about connections to "every single Star Trek show," possibly even including Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, offer intriguing possibilities as a follow-up to the entire Star Trek series. Waltke and the executive producers of Star Trek: Prodigy, Kevin and Dan Hageman, express their confidence that the series will find a new streaming platform, stating they are "99% certain." Fans, including the 32,000+ supporters of the Change.org #SaveStarTrekProdigy petition, eagerly anticipate the opportunity to see Prodigy season 2 weave together the entire Star Trek franchise.
