When Will Netflix Release Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 & What To Expect

Netflix will release the first season of Star Trek: Prodigy on Christmas Day, aiming to expand its fan base and introduce new viewers to the Star Trek franchise. The animated series follows the young alien crew of the USS Protostar as they learn Starfleet values from Hologram and Admiral Kathryn Janeway. The release date for the 20 episodes of the second season has not been announced yet, as they are still being finalized. However, fans can expect Prodigy season 2 to premiere in 2024, possibly around the middle of the year.

During the STLV: 57-Year Mission event and on StarTrek.com in August, a 4-minute preview of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 was shown. It unveiled The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager, played by Robert Picardo, as well as the new Lamarr Class starship, USS Voyager-A. Admiral Janeway's mission in season 2 is to rescue the stranded Captain Chakotay, portrayed by Robert Beltan, in an alternate 25th-century timeline. Meanwhile, Gwyndala, played by Ella Purnell, endeavors to prevent a tragic future First Contact with Starfleet on the Vau N'Akat homeworld of Solum. The second season of Star Trek: Prodigy will connect with the wider Star Trek franchise. But before diving into these new adventures, fans can enjoy the 20 thrilling episodes of the first season, starting on Christmas Day.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan, I'm thrilled that Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1 will be released on Netflix during Christmas 2023. The cancellation of the show by Paramount+ was a huge disappointment, but the fan campaign to save it shows the power of social media and the dedication of the Star Trek fandom.

I'm excited to see the adventures of the young alien crew of the USS Protostar and learn more about Starfleet values from Hologram and Admiral Kathryn Janeway. The second season looks even more exciting, with the return of The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager and the introduction of the new Lamarr Class starship, USS Voyager-A. I can't wait to see what's next for the Star Trek: Prodigy crew and how they'll connect with the wider Star Trek franchise.
