Didn’t see this coming. Prodigy EPs the Brothers Hageman have dropped a scene from season two, episode one.

And it’s on the official StarTrek.com site.

My spouse is muttering ‘makes no sense at all…’

I’m enjoying just having gorgeous new Prodigy animation to see. And those of you who love a great flyby of a new ship - get ready!

    I normally avoid trailers and clips but couldn’t resist this time.

    I was grinning through the whole thing! So happy that it’s looking so likely that we’re going to get the second season.

    Big thank you for posting this

        Doesn’t hurt to be optimistic.

        Also doesn’t hurt if we are all supporting this show both by being vocal online and (if people

        can afford it) supporting with our wallets. Physical blu-ray (my preference after how much digital and streaming has messed us around) or digital sales.

            That’s a fair point - Does that just encourage companies to cancel… get a burst of sales… renew and repeat.

            That being said - buying the thing you want to watch isn’t the same as buying all the merch.

            Could also just cancel the streaming service (and buy or rent the individual shows that you want).

            I’m sure as hell not subscribing to Paramount+ as “the home of trek” if it cancels or splinters the shows so isn’t the actual home of all trek.

    What a great first peek. I love seeing the Doctor. I’m happy to see this clip’s release, but I’m staying with cautiously optimistic about the where and when of Prodigy’s future home and seasons, and the availability for viewing of season 2. Leaning towards optimistic because someone had to give permission to release the clip. Paramount+ maybe? Until Prodigy has a new home, I’m guessing that Paramount+ owns the rights to Prodigy.

    I don’t doubt that there are parties interested in carrying the show. They would gain a show with a preexisting, supportive fan base and become a part of the Star Trek realm.

    All in all, an impressive response by Star Trek fans to Prodigy and the creative team’s poor treatment by Paramount+. Go team Star Trek fans!

      This is coming out of a presentation at Star Trek Las Vegas by the Hagemans.

      TrekMovie.com is quoting them as follows:

      Right now, there are active talks happening and I’m being 100% honest with you, we are 99% confident that there will be a new home for our show.

          Knowing a few people who have worked on series that ended up looking for new networks, I feel pretty confident that for zillions of reasons (both legal and promotional) they would never have shown this footage if it wasn’t basically a done deal –– this is just marketing to see us go bananas over the Doctor before they reveal the streaming deal. Which –– I could not believe it when I woke up this morning because I was totally sure all the “new home” stuff was entirely wishful thinking and that Prodigy was fully dead.

      More than welcome.

      I confess I was up later than I should have been putting pixels on our StarTrek Canvas space. When I saw that breaking, I knew folks here would want the news asap.

    If there’s going to be more voyager characters I really hope Neelix gets a cameo for an episode. I’d love to see him back in the kitchen with Jankom taste testing lol

      I’d love a Neelix cameo. Have him running or assisting a Talaxian colony somewhere.
