Star Trek: Prodigy Confirms Franchise’s Perfect Next Era

The animated series, which aired for two seasons starting in 2021, brought Star Trek back to its traditional storytelling style. Each episode was around 20 minutes long and explored classic Star Trek ideas, appealing to both longtime fans and new viewers. With a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and the recent cancellation of the serialized Starfleet Academy, it’s clear that Star Trek should take note and return to the successful, episode-by-episode format that this animated series demonstrated works well.
