Star Trek:Prodigy- New Life on Netflix!

Rejoice Star Trek fans! After bening cancelled after it's first full season, the animated, kid-friendly, Star Trek: Prodigy has been picked up by Netflix, and that first season will debut on December 25th, 2024! Santa does have a soft spot for us Trekkies! But wait, there's more! Not only will the first season be available to Netflix subscibers on the 25th, but Netflix has already green-lit production on Season 2, which has just wrapped up filming, and will debut sometime in 2024! I guess I AM on the NICE list! Here is a partial piece of an interview that ScreenRant did with the producers about the move:

Does going to Netflix feel like a new beginning for the show?

Dan Hageman: Yeah. I think Netflix is an amazing place for animation. I feel like they have much more animation options. No offense to Paramount+, but Paramount + is a younger streamer. And so, I think having a place where someone who just likes our thumbnail, doesn't know anything about Star Trek, can find it and start understanding that this is an on-ramp for a massive IP series. And it doesn't talk down to you. If anything, I feel like we're going to find new Star Trek fans out there who don't even know they want to watch Star Trek.

Kevin Hageman: And you see animation in the top 10 shows on Netflix. My Blue-Eyed Samurai is something that I love right now. And that's making the top 10. That's an animated series, so people are watching.
