Kate Mulgrew will be heartbroken if Star Trek: Prodigy doesn’t continue

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer and Star Trek fanatic with decades of memories etched into my neural pathways by countless hours spent navigating the final frontier, I can’t help but feel a twinge of both excitement and apprehension following the recent San Diego Comic Con. The lack of a season three announcement for Star Trek: Prodigy has left me, and many others, in a state of unease.

As a devoted Star Trek: Prodigy enthusiast, I found myself in a bit of a quandary when San Diego Comic Con drew to a close without a season three announcement. While binge-watching the captivating second season (20 episodes strong) currently streaming on Netflix, I’ve been left with a sense of uncertainty. Despite the creators, Kevin and Dan Hageman, structuring the finale in such a way that it could serve as the series end, they also subtly hinted at the potential for further adventures. It’s this very prospect that resonates deeply within the hearts of fellow fans and none other than Kate Mulgrew herself. We eagerly await any updates on more space-faring escapades!

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but echo the sentiments of Katee Sackhoff during the Prodigy panel at SDCC, as shared by Whatculture. Much like us fans, she passionately voiced her reluctance to see the series come to an end and expressed the emotional turmoil that would ensue if it does. Indeed, her feelings resonate deeply with mine and, I’m sure, with fellow enthusiasts.

It would be a heartbreak to see this end. The fans adore it. You know what they did, they flew a little plane over Los Angeles saying bring back Prodigy, and Netflix bought it, so let’s hope that Netflix has, I think, the prescience and the vision to option it again.

I, an ardent fan, took to action like many others by funding an aerial banner that was flown over Netflix (alongside other streaming platforms) in support of a second season for a series that was unexpectedly cancelled by Paramount+. If Netflix doesn’t renew Prodigy, I have no doubt that we, the dedicated fanbase, will rally together once more to make our voices heard and continue our campaign for another season.

One key observation Mulgrew made was this: If Prodigy were to be discontinued once more, it might prompt her to ponder what exactly Star Trek considers excellent entertainment, considering Prodigy seems integral to that assessment, if not so.

I’d be really dashed if it weren’t picked up, you know that? A part of me would really question, what are they picking up? What do they herald as great if not this animated series? Because it is unquestionably superior.

All viewers of the second season of Prodigy seem to share the same view, and they collectively believe that the second season was exceptional, even calling it a classic Star Trek experience. However, Netflix may not prioritize the success of the Star Trek franchise over its own financial gains from Prodigy. Here’s hoping that the viewership in the past month has been significant enough to warrant a renewal for more episodes. Otherwise, we might feel as disheartened as Sonequa Mulgrew does when her character experiences heartbreak.
