“Thank you to our incredible Star Trek: Prodigy fans, who championed not just a show, but a community that’s always been connected by the belief that we build a better future together,” reads a statement from executive producer Alex Kurtzman and co-showrunners Dan and Kevin Hageman. “We set out to inspire you, but you inspired us. The team is still hard at work on the second season, and we can’t wait to share it with the amazing fans around the world.”
Adds Kate Mulgrew, voice of Admiral Janeway, “I’ve always held that the Star Trek fan base is among the strongest and most intelligent in the world. They have shown their collective passion, and we’re happy to be able to celebrate Prodigy once again.”
When the show was originally canceled in June, co-executive producer Aaron J. Waltke told fans via X (formally Twitter) that the Prodigy team was “completing Season 2 on schedule and seeking a new home,” adding, “Everyone on the cast and crew loves Star Trek: Prodigy deeply.”
Per its official logline, the younger-skewing animated series “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. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered — a first in the history of the Star Trek franchise — but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.”
Along with Mulgrew, Star Trek: Prodigy‘s primary voice cast includes Brett Gray as Dal, Ella Purnell as Gwyn, Rylee Alazraqui as Rok-Tahk, Angus Imrie as Zero, Jason Mantzoukas as Jankom Pog, Dee Bradley Baker as Murf, John Noble as The Diviner and Jimmi Simpson as Drednok.
Recurring voices include Daveed Diggs as Commander Tysess, Jameela Jamil as Ensign Asencia, Jason Alexander as Doctor Noum, Robert Beltran as Captain Chakotay and Billy Campbell as Thadiun Okona.
From CBS Studios’ Eye Animation Productions, Nickelodeon Animation, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment, Star Trek: Prodigy is executive-produced by co-showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman, along with Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Aaron Baiers, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth. Ben Hibon also directs, executive-produces and is credited as the show’s “creative lead.”
