The show was cancelled by Paramount+ when the company merged with Showtime in June this year due to poor reviews and viewership. Prodigy had set itself lofty goals in its first season, introducing a whole generation and cast of characters and some surprising returns, most notably Kate Mulgrew as Admiral Kathryn Janeway, including Robert Beltran as Chakotay with Robert Picardo joining the cast in the second season reprising his role as the Doctor.
In response to the announcement of the shows new home, Kate Mulgrew posted that the announcement was a gift for the series' fans. On a personal note; at first I didn't think I would enjoy the series as it was aimed at a much younger target audience, but I decided watch a couple of episodes. Although I did enjoy the show and it has potential as a great addition to the Star Trek family.
I had a few gripes with the show mostly that the crew of the Protostar were essentially teenagers but they grew on me after a while and I was saddened to learn of the shows cancellation and the fact the show was pulled from the Paramount +'s library, Thankfully Netflix stepped in to save the day.
Did you enjoy Prodigy? Are you glad Netflix picked up the series? Let us know below!
