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

San Diego Comic Con ended with no season three announcement for Star Trek: Prodigy, leaving fans feeling a little uneasy. The complete second season, consisting of twenty episodes, is already streaming on Netflix, and though the creators of the series, Kevin and Dan Hageman, set up the ending so it could be a finale, they also left the doors open for more adventures. And that's exactly what fans and Kate Mulgrew want.

At the Prodigy panel at SDCC [via Whatculture], Mulgrew expressed how much she doesn't want the series to end and how she will feel if it does. And it's exactly how fans would feel.

"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."

Mulgrew brought up the aerial banner that fans paid for to fly over Netflix (as well as other streaming channels) as part of a campaign for a season two pickup for the series which was cancelled abruptly by Paramount+. Knowing this fanbase, they would start another such campaign if Netflix doesn't renew Prodigy.

One good point Mulgrew made is that if Prodigy were to be cancelled yet again, she would have to question what Star Trek thinks is great entertainment essentially if not Prodigy.

"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."

The fans that have watched the second season of Prodigy are all in agreement, and the consensus is that Prodigy's sophmore season was spectacular. It was, in my opinion, quintessential Star Trek. But Netflix isn't the "home" of Star Trek, and it probably won't be as interested in seeing the Trek franchise thrive as it is making money from Prodigy. Hopefully, viewers have done enough in the past thirty days to warrant a renewal from Netflix. Or our hearts will be just as broken as Mulgrew's.
