Paramount Plus Unveils 'Star Trek: Prodigy' Environmental Art

Just a few days after revealing the voice cast and characters of Nickelodeon's upcoming CG-animated series Star Trek: Prodigy, Paramount+ has now released four alien environments from the new show.


Shared on StarTrek.com, the latest Star Trek: Prodigy images feature stunning Delta Quadrant environments and planetscapes. They didn’t give details as to what the images represent, only that they are examples of what they call “environmental coverage.” Whatever the exact definition of “environmental coverage” might be, one thing it means is that these four static images will serve as fantastic backgrounds for your computer desktop or Zoom calls.

While the details of each beautiful digital landscape are minimal, we do get a sense of the quality of the animation of the series from these “environmental coverage” images. Check them out below.

The first image depicts two characters, presumably Gwyn and Dal, observing a night sky with colorful gaseous clouds and a bright full moon above.

Image number two gives us a view from space of a dramatic cloudy planet surface, complete with two large moons and a rising star.

The third image is of a desert planet with large, otherworldly cliffs and a blazing sun.

The final image shows an aerial view of some kind of planetary structure, a space station or city with towering spires and bright beams of light emanating in every direction.

This animated art design — with lush coloring and a dazzling depth of field — clearly puts Star Trek: Prodigy light-years away from the animated styles of not only the classic 1970’s Animated Series, but this decade’s Star Trek: Lower Decks as well.

Developed by Emmy Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman and produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and CBS Studios, Star Trek: Prodigy stars Rylee Alazraqui as Rok-Tahk, Brett Gray as Dal, Angus Imrie as Zero, Jason Mantzoukas as Jankom Pog, Ella Purnell as Gwyn, Dee Bradley Baker as Murf, and Kate Mulgrew, who is reprising her role of Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager. In the series, Janeway will serve as the starship’s built-in emergency training hologram.

The series is scheduled to premiere on Paramount+ later this year.
