It looks like all of that positivity that series creators Kevin Hageman & Dan Hageman, writer & executive producer Aaron Waltke, and the animated series fans' held onto has paid off in a really big way. Netflix will be the official home of the Kate Mulgrew-starring Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 in 2024. In addition, the first season will join the streaming service later this year (except in Canada, where "Prodigy" is carried by CTV.ca & the CTV App and in SkyShowtime's European territories: the Nordics, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Central & Eastern Europe).
Here's a look at what Kevin Hageman & Dan Hageman, EP Alex Kurtzman, and Waltke had to share about the news:
In an extended look at the second season opener from August, the former crew of the U.S.S. Protostar (Dal, Rok-Tak, Zero, Jankom Pog, and Murf) is now warrant Starfleet officers in training — reunited for an internship under the command of Admiral Janeway (Mulgrew). Getting started, the five are introduced to Robert Picardo's The Doctor – yup, from our real-life days when Star Trek: Voyager was still on our screens. Aboard Janeway's new ship, they learn of their next mission – observe a wormhole that they are all too familiar with. Oh, and yes – that is Voyager-A that we get a look at over on the franchise's main website.

Daveed Diggs, Jameela Jamil, Jason Alexander, and Robert Beltran have also joined the season's voice cast in recurring roles. Diggs will voice Commander Tysess, Jamil will voice Ensign Asencia, Alexander will voice Doctor Noum, and Beltran will reprise his Star Trek: Voyager role as Captain Chakotay.
