Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 News May Be Coming Soon

Star Trek: Prodigy's new streaming home is yet to be announced. However, hopeful news might be shared by the show's executive producers at the Star Trek: Las Vegas fan convention in early August. While Star Trek: Prodigy is no longer available on Paramount+, fans have other options to enjoy the series. All 20 episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 can be rented or purchased on Prime Video, as well as other streaming services like Google and Apple TV. Additionally, episodes 11-20 of Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 will be released on Blu-ray and DVD, with exciting bonus features, on September 26.

The sudden cancellation and removal of Star Trek: Prodigy by Paramount+ could be seen as a decision that actually sparked greater interest in the series they unexpectedly dismissed. Prodigy has attracted a wide range of Star Trek fans, including the important and sought-after younger generation, who could potentially remain loyal to the franchise for many years. Ultimately, it is clear that the audience strongly desires more of Star Trek: Prodigy and acknowledges its significant worth and lasting impact on the Star Trek universe, even if its previous streaming platform did not.
