{
Star Trek: Prodigy is an American animated science fiction television series created by Kevin and Dan Hageman. It is the tenth Star Trek series and was released from 2021 to 2024 as part of executive producer Alex Kurtzman's expanded Star Trek Universe. Prodigy is the first Star Trek series to specifically target a younger audience, and the franchise's first solely 3D animated series. It follows a group of young aliens in the 24th century who find the abandoned starship Protostar and learn about Starfleet.
Brett Gray, Ella Purnell, Jason Mantzoukas, Angus Imrie, Rylee Alazraqui, and Dee Bradley Baker voice the young crew of the Protostar, with Jimmi Simpson, John Noble, Kate Mulgrew, Robert Beltran, Robert Picardo, Jameela Jamil, and Wil Wheaton also providing voices for the series. Kurtzman first mentioned a youth-focused animated series in January 2019 and it was confirmed a month later. The Hageman brothers were set as creators and showrunners, and Nickelodeon ordered two seasons of Prodigy that April, to be released on the cable channel after streaming on Paramount+ first. Ben Hibon was announced as director and creative lead in August 2020. The series was produced by CBS Eye Animation Productions and Nickelodeon Animation Studio in association with Secret Hideout, Roddenberry Entertainment, and Brothers Hageman Productions.
Star Trek: Prodigy premiered on Paramount+ on October 28, 2021, and began airing on Nickelodeon on December 17. The first season of 20 episodes ended in December 2022. It received positive reviews from critics and won a Children's and Family Emmy Award. Work had already commenced on a second season when the series was canceled and removed from Paramount+ in June 2023. Netflix picked up the series that October and released the first season for streaming in December 2023. The second season was released in France on france.tv in March 2024, and was released on Netflix that July. By May 2025, Netflix decided not to continue the series.
