It’s been a long year for fans ofStar Trek: Prodigy, but the animated series' long-awaited next season is finally in sight. Netflix will reportedly release the second season of the kid-aimedStar Trekseries on July 1.TrekCore.com reportsthat the release date can be seen on Netflix’s app.
The second season of the series, which follows a ragtag group of alien teenagers in the galaxy’s Delta Quadrant as they try to use an experimental Starfleet ship, theUSS Protostar, to escape an evil dictator, didn’t seem like a sure thing at one point. Last year, the series wascanceled and deletedfrom its original streamer, Paramount+, even though its second season was nearly complete. Fan outrage ensued over the well-received show’s cancelation, and aletter-writing campaign was launched;Prodigywas eventuallypicked up by Netflix, who are currently streaming the show’s first season. Fans have been waiting for the next season’s release ever since, although it was released in France several months ago.

In “Supernova”, the two-part finale ofProdigy’s first season, theUSS Protostarwas destroyed, as was the cadets' mentor, a holographic avatar of legendary Starfleet commander Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew). However, the group escaped their foes, saved Starfleet, and made it to Federation territory. There, they met the real Janeway, who took them on as warrant-officers-in-training aboard a newProtostar-classship. Janeway wants them on a mission to return to the Delta Quadrant to find herVoyagerfirst officer Chakotay (Robert Beltran), who was lost in the region aboard theProtostarin the first place. The series will presumably also deal with the fate of Gwyn (Ella Purnell), who departed the group in the first-season finale to try and bring peace to her people, the Vau N’Akat.A clip of the second-season premierewas also released last year, which reveals that a familiarStar Trekvoice will have a part to play in the series.
