Star Trek: Prodigy creators reveal they’re still working on the show

Star Trek: Prodigy’s creators have reacted to the show’ cancelation.

Star Trek: Prodigy’s cancelation caught a lot of people off guard. It was a show that was doing well with folks. Fans loved it and it launched a lot of merchandise streams. The Playmates toy line came back because of Prodigy, and it also launched a video game to go along with the show.

It was one of the more engaged shows across its second season, even more so than Strange New Worlds according to some metrics. Yet, it was a very expensive show to produce and apparently the tax break that Paramount+ could get for cancellation it was a lot bigger than whatever the show was going to generate.

Otherwise, why produce the second season in the first place? That’s right, Prodigy still has a second season that not only got started on, but is signficantly along in the creation process to just stop.

Now the series is being shopped around for a new home, a new home that may not come.
