CBS Studios today debuted the official trailer and key art for the second season of the original animated kids’ series, Star Trek: Prodigy. All 20 new episodes premiere on Monday, July 1 at the show’s new home on Netflix in select countries around the world. Season 1 episodes of the series are currently available on Netflix.
Developed by Emmy Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman (Trollhunters, Ninjago), along with Alex Kurtzman and his team at Secret Hideout, the CG-animated show is the first Star Trek series aimed at younger audiences and follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future.
In Season 2, these six young outcasts who make up the Prodigy crew are assigned a new mission aboard the USS Voyager-A to rescue Captain Chakotay (voiced by Star Trek: Voyager‘s Robert Beltran) and bring peace to Gwyn’s (series regular Ella Purnell) home world. However, when their plan goes astray, it creates a time paradox that jeopardizes both their future and past.
“We deeply appreciate our fans who have stood by us and our passionate crew who made this all possible. The work speaks for itself, but it’s the heart that will endure,” said co-showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman about the Season 2 release.
The Star Trek: Prodigy voice cast includes Kate Mulgrew (Hologram Kathryn Janeway), Brett Gray (Dal), Ella Purnell (Gwyn), Rylee Alazraqui (Rok-Tahk), Angus Imrie (Zero), Jason Mantzoukas (Jankom Pog), Dee Bradley Baker (Murf), John Noble (The Diviner) and Jimmi Simpson (Drednok).
