The second season of the American animated television series Star Trek: Prodigy follows a group of young aliens who join Admiral Kathryn Janeway as warrant officers on a mission to find the original crew of the USS Protostar, and learn more about Starfleet along the way. The season is produced by CBS Eye Animation Productions and Nickelodeon Animation Studio in association with Secret Hideout, Roddenberry Entertainment, and Brothers Hageman Productions, with Kevin and Dan Hageman serving as showrunners.

Brett Gray, Ella Purnell, Jason Mantzoukas, Angus Imrie, Rylee Alazraqui, and Dee Bradley Baker voice the young warrant officers and Kate Mulgrew reprises her role as Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager. Nickelodeon ordered two seasons of Prodigy in April 2019 and the Hageman brothers were attached as showrunners. Ben Hibon was announced as director and creative lead in August 2020. The writers split the season into two 10-episode "mini-arcs". In February 2021, the series' debut was moved to Paramount+, who confirmed the second season order that November. It was scheduled to debut in late 2023 before the series was canceled that June. The season was being completed with plans to find a different streaming service or network for it to be released on.

The season consists of 20 episodes.

Development[edit]

Star Trek franchise producer Alex Kurtzman said in January 2019 that a "kids-focused" animated Star Trek series was in development.[4] Nickelodeon ordered two seasons of Star Trek: Prodigy in late April 2019, and Kevin and Dan Hageman were attached as showrunners.[5][6] Ben Hibon was announced as director and creative lead for the series in August 2020.[7] In February 2021, ViacomCBS announced that Prodigy would debut on the new streaming service Paramount+ along with the rest of the Star Trek Universe.[8] Paramount+ confirmed the second season order in November,[9] and it was revealed to consist of 20 episodes in January 2022.[10]

In June 2023, Paramount+ canceled the series. The crew were reportedly completing work on the second season with plans for CBS to find a different streaming service or network for it to be released on,[11] which Waltke soon confirmed, saying the season would be completed on schedule.[12]

Writing[edit]

Aaron Waltke was promoted to co-head writer and co-executive producer for the second season.

The Hagemans completed writing for the last two episodes of the season by February 2022.[13] First season writer Aaron Waltke was promoted to co-head writer and co-executive producer for the second season,[14] and explained that both seasons were split into two 10-episode "mini-arcs" each.[10] He described each one as a "self-contained arc, but with plenty of story threads that you could pull to have it continue on to the next".[15] After the young protagonists' mentor, a hologram of Kathryn Janeway, sacrificed herself at the end of the first season, the second sees them joining the crew of the real Admiral Janeway as "warrant officers in training". The Hagemans said their new mentor was an opportunity for growth, and they would not be "coddled" in the season like they were with Hologram Janeway.[16] They also teased that Janeway and the protagonists would be on a new starship in the second season after the destruction of the USS Protostar and USS Dauntless in the first season. This was believed to be the USS Voyager-A, a new version of Janeway's ship from the series Star Trek: Voyager.[17] Dan Hageman said there were "two really big engines" in the season that were established in the first season finale: a message from Captain Chakotay in the future, and Gwyn's decision to try prevent her homeworld's future civil war.[18]

Casting and voice recording[edit]

Kate Mulgrew reprises her role of Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager.[19] The voice cast for the series' young protagonists includes Brett Gray as Dal R'El, Ella Purnell as Gwyn, Jason Mantzoukas as Jankom Pog, Angus Imrie as Zero, Rylee Alazraqui as Rok-Tahk, and Dee Bradley Baker as Murf.[2] Mulgrew revealed in January 2021 that voice recording for the second season was about to begin.[3] Some recording for the last five episodes had begun by July 2022.[15]

The Hagemans said in October 2022 that the series' search for Robert Beltran's Captain Chakotay (from Voyager) would continue into the second season,[20] and that other "legacy characters" from previous Star Trek series would also be included.[21] In December, Ronny Cox—who reprised his Star Trek: The Next Generation role of Edward Jellico in the first season—said he was also "probably" returning for the second season.[22]

Animation[edit]

Storyboarding for the season finale was in progress by July 2022.[15]

Release[edit]

The season was set to premiere on Paramount+ in late 2023,[23] before it was canceled by the streaming service.[11]
