Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 is now available in France

While we here in the United States can watch the first complete season of Star Trek: Prodigy on Netflix, we're still awaiting the second season which is supposed to release sometime this year. Surprisingly, according to breaking news by Trek Central, the animated Trek series has already made its debut in France, and it's not just a few episodes. All twenty episodes of the second season are now available on French national broadcaster ‘France Télévisions’.

This comes as a surprise to Prodigy fans who've been impatiently waiting for the debut of the second season and is rather unusual. But “France.TV”, the online streaming service for the national public broadcaster has released the series before it has been released anywhere else. While this is a first, it does offer open for the US and other international streaming channels that the premiere might be just around the corner.

In a preview clip from the second season, we saw that Robert Picardo will be reprising his role at the Emergency Medical Hologram and will join Admiral Janeway aboard the new Voyager-A. He will be mentoring the young warrant officers in training along with the admiral, and Picardo assured fans that he was not just there for comic relief. So we can expect some serious episodes and/or scenes from the series for its second season.

This release is surprising to Prodigy fans as it debuted without any fanfare or advance warning, but it also tells us to keep a close eye on Star Trek: Prodigy's social media channels (on X as @TrekProdigyRoom) as well as executive producer, Aaron Waltke (on X as @GoodAaron) and series creators Dan and Kevin Hageman (on X at @BrothersHageman). Although none of these channels announced the season two premiere of Prodigy in France, they will have information on the premiere for US fans!
