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

It could well be all we ever see of this series so soak it in.

[–] Navi@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

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.

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!

Did Paramount realize how badly they screwed up with the cancellation?

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Thank you for posting this. It is the first I heard about it. OP - you have made my day!

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.

Screw STD I want Prodigy season 2.

I'm sorry, I must have missed something. Is it not cancelled anymore?

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When the cancellation was reported, it was also said that the second season would be completed, and that the studio was actively shopping the series around for a buyer.

[–] CrayonMaster@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

oh, got it. Thanks!
