Prodigy has been saved by Netflix, but what does this new deal mean for Star Trek's future, and does it improve Legacy's chances on Paramount+?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The news that Star Trek: Prodigy has been picked up by Netflix raises some interesting questions about the streaming future of the Star Trek franchise. Following a passionate fan campaign, Netflix was announced as the new home for the animated Star Trek series after it was unceremoniously dropped from Paramount+.
Now that Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will stream on Netflix, the franchise is now targeting audiences outside those Paramount+ subscribers. Prodigy is both a great primer for younger audiences, and a thoroughly entertaining backdoor Star Trek: Voyager sequel for older viewers. It's therefore possible that Netflix subscribers who stumble upon Prodigy could be inspired to seek out more Star Trek from Paramount+.
Should the unthinkable happen, Mike McMahan and the Lower Deckers could take some comfort from the good news about Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. It seems that the only way Netflix would buy more Star Trek shows is if Paramount were to cancel another show mid-production. Given that audiences and industry commentators are wise to this cost-cutting loophole, it seems likely that the studios may be more wary about future high-profile cancelations.
