Star Trek: Prodigy Writer/EP Teases Season 2: "You Are Not Prepared"

Star Trek: Prodigy EP & writer Aaron Waltke updated how Season 2 production was going and teased an "emotional rollercoaster" was on the way.

It's hard to believe that it's been close to a month since we last checked in with series creators Kevin Hageman & Dan Hageman and writer & executive producer Aaron Waltke to see how things were going with the second season of Netflix's (still getting used to that) Star Trek: Prodigy. With the first season set to hit the streamer later this month, we've got a heads-up from Waltke that we wanted to pass along – we think? Sharing an image from the studio as post-production continues, Waltke added, "Just got misty-eyed mixing the Season Two finale of #StarTrekProdigy. An emotional rollercoaster. The turning of chapters. Honor. Wonder. The everlasting journey. You are not prepared." So you see what we mean, right? We're happy to pass along the update showing just how close to the finish line they're at – but that "you are not prepared" has us vibing that some major punches to our "feels" are on the way. But no one can say that Waltke didn't warn us…

Here's a look at Waltke's latest update on how production is going on the second season – followed by a look back at what else we learned about the show's return from earlier this year:

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.

Kate Mulgrew's Kathryn Janeway is joined by Ella Purnell (Sweetbitter, Army of the Dead), Brett Gray (On My Block, When They See Us), Rylee Alazraqui (Doug Unplugs, Home Economics), Dee Bradley Baker (Star Wars: The Bad Batch, SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer), Angus Imrie (The Crown, The Kid Who Would Be King), Jason Mantzoukas (Invincible, Big Mouth, Close Enough), Jimmi Simpson (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and John Noble (Fringe) in the main voice cast. 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.
