Star Trek: Prodigy's executive producers announce that production is in the final mix for season 2's finale as the episodes get ready for Netflix.
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2's episodes are nearing completion, executive producers Kevin and Dan Hageman and Aaron J. Waltke have revealed. A dedicated #SaveStarTrekProdigy social-media fan campaign helped the beloved animated series secure Netflix as its new streaming home after Prodigy was abruptly canceled by Paramount+ earlier this year. Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 is set to premiere Christmas Day on Netflix, with 20 all-new Prodigy season 2 episodes premiering in 2024.
On Twitter/X, Star Trek: Prodigy executive producer Aaron J. Waltke shared a behind-the-scenes production photo, revealing that he got "misty-eyed" mixing Star Trek: Prodigy's season 2 finale. Check out Waltke's post below:

Aaron J. Waltke thoroughly understands and respects the expansive legacy of Star Trek, and he previously teased that Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will touch upon every previous incarnation of the Star Trek franchise. Waltke's words, "The turning of chapters..." and "The everlasting journey..." indicate that Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 isn't designed to end the series, and seeds are being planted for Star Trek: Prodigy season 3 and beyond on Netflix.
Star Trek: Prodigy's creators Kevin and Dan Hageman also posted about finishing the mix for Prodigy's season 2 finale, celebrating the "five incredible years" they have poured into the series. The Hagemans' post includes photos of Dan Hageman, director Ben Hibon, composer Nami Melamad, and Aaron J. Waltke. Check it out below:

Everything We Know About Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will stream on Netflix after the animated series was canceled by Paramount+, with 20 brand new episodes coming in 2024. Earlier this summer, Kevin and Dan Hageman revealed an extended first look at the second season's premiere episode, where the former crew of the U.S.S. Protostar and now warrant Starfleet officers in training are reunited for an internship under the command of Admiral Janeway. Escorting them to the admiral's new ship is Janeway's dear friend, The Doctor.
How Will Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 Release On Netflix?
One big thing fans are naturally curious about is how Netflix will release episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. Netflix is known for dropping every episode of a TV series on the same day, although the streamer has also experimented with split releases, such as debuting Stranger Things and The Crown season 6 in two parts. All 20 of Star Trek: Prodigy season 1's episodes will hit Netflix on Christmas Day, and Netflix will likely follow the same strategy for season 2.
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 already announced The Doctor (Robert Picardo) from Star Trek: Voyager joins the show, and Admiral Kahryn Janeway's (Kate Mulgrew) new starship is the Lamarr Class USS Voyager-A.
It's also possible Netflix could split Star Trek: Prodigy season 2's release and drop 10 episodes before following up with the latter 10 at a later date. This is what happened on Paramount+; the back 10 episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 arrived a year later. However, this was due to needing to complete production on the latter Prodigy season 1 episodes. As Aaron J. Waltke and the Hagemans confirm, all of Star Trek Prodigy season 2's episodes will be finished when the show starts streaming in 2024. For now, fans can relive the fun and adventure of Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 starting Christmas Day on Netflix.
Will There Be A Star Trek: Prodigy Season 3?
At the time of posting, a third season of Star Trek: Prodigy has yet to be announced.
Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 streams on Netflix December 25, 2023, followed by Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 premiering on Netflix in 2024.
