This is another bad sign for the future of Trek, and removing it from PPlus is totally unacceptable!
Anyone who hasn't watched it I suggest you do so immediately.
Paramount+ has canceled the previously confirmed second season of Star Trek: Prodigy and plans to remove the animated series from its platform, IGN confirmed with a Paramount+ spokesperson. The streamer also axed Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Queen of the Universe, and The Game ahead of its upcoming influx of Showtime content.
A Paramount spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter, “As we prepare to combine Paramount+ and Showtime later this month in the U.S., we are refining our content offering to deliver the best streaming experience for subscribers. This is consistent with our content strategy since launch and across our business, which ensures we make smart, efficient choices, informed by audience data and insights. We are removing select programming as we look to optimize Showtime’s robust slate of premium originals.”
Star Trek: Prodigy’s cancellation means a frustrating renewal reversal for fans of the kid-friendly offering. The series showcased the return of Kate Mulgrew’s fan-favorite Captain Janeway, who hadn’t appeared onscreen in any form since Star Trek: Voyager. In Star Trek: Prodigy, Janeway recurs as a training hologram for the new cast.
