Star Trek TV series

Star Trek: Prodigy is an American animated television series created by Kevin and Dan Hageman for the streaming service Paramount+ and the cable channel Nickelodeon. The series launched as part of executive producer Alex Kurtzman's expanded Star Trek Universe. Prodigy follows a group of young aliens who use an abandoned starship to search for adventure.

Kate Mulgrew reprises her role as Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager. Rylee Alazraqui, Brett Gray, Angus Imrie, Jason Mantzoukas, Ella Purnell, Dee Bradley Baker, John Noble, and Jimmi Simpson also star. Kurtzman first mentioned the series in January 2019, and it was confirmed a month later. The Hageman brothers were set as creators and showrunners. Nickelodeon ordered two seasons of Prodigy that April. The series uses computer animation, differing from previous Star Trek animation. The series is oriented more towards younger audiences than the rest of the franchise. Ben Hibon was announced as director in August 2020, and it was revealed in February 2021 that the series would debut on Paramount+ before airing on Nickelodeon.

Star Trek: Prodigy premiered on October 28, 2021, on Paramount+ with the first 10-episode season. It will then air on Nickelodeon before the second season is released on Paramount+.[1][2]

Premise

In 2383, five years after the USS Voyager returned to Earth, a motley crew of young aliens in the Delta Quadrant find an abandoned Starfleet ship, the USS Protostar. Taking control of the ship, they must learn to work together as they make their way towards the Alpha Quadrant.[3][4]

Production

Development

In June 2018, after becoming sole showrunner of the series Star Trek: Discovery, Alex Kurtzman signed a five-year overall deal with CBS Television Studios to expand the Star Trek franchise beyond Discovery to several new series, miniseries, and animated series.[15] After the announcement of adult animated comedy Star Trek: Lower Decks, Kurtzman said in January 2019 that there would be at least one more animated series released as part of his expansion. This would be a "kids-focused" series that could potentially be released on a different network from the more adult-focused streaming service CBS All Access where the other Star Trek series under Kurtzman are released. Kurtzman said other animated series would be different from Lower Decks in both tone and visual style, with the latter potentially being achieved through the use of different technology.[16]

Kevin and Dan Hageman joined the series as writers by mid-February 2019, when Nickelodeon was in talks to air the show since its viewers match the series' younger target audience. The project was expected to be a "major tentpole series" for the network under its new president Brian Robbins.[17] A month later, Kurtzman confirmed the project and said negotiations with Nickelodeon were almost complete. He expected the series to be ready for release in 2021 or 2022.[18] Nickelodeon officially ordered the series in late April 2019, with the Hageman brothers confirmed to be writing and executive producing the series alongside Kurtzman, Secret Hideout's Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry (the son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry) and Trevor Roth of Roddenberry Entertainment, and CBS Television's animation executive Katie Krentz.[19] Kadin revealed in October 2019 that the series had received a two-season order from Nickelodeon due to the animation work required for the series, and said it would feature serialized elements. She explained that the Hagemans were hired due to their work on previous children's series that were not "playing down" to the audience and were still watchable for older viewers. Kadin felt the series would be something that older Star Trek fans could watch with their children to introduce them to the franchise since "it’s such a big franchise, [it can be hard] to get into as a kid".[20]

In an article on the Star Trek franchise in January 2020, The Wall Street Journal listed the series as Star Trek: Prodigy.[21] This title was officially confirmed in July, along with a 2021 release date. Ramsey Naito was overseeing the series for Nickelodeon as EVP of Animation Production and Development.[22] Ben Hibon was announced as director, co-executive producer, and creative lead for the series in August 2020. Naito described Hibon as "an incredible storyteller and a world builder with a distinct vision" for the series.[23] In February 2021, ViacomCBS announced that Prodigy would debut on the new streaming service Paramount+ along with the rest of the Star Trek Universe.[24] Paramount+'s EVP of development and programming, Julie McNamara, said they would have the "best of both worlds" with this move by introducing the series to fans of the other Star Trek series on the service before bringing it to new audiences on Nickelodeon. She added that viewership data from CBS All Access showed that fans of Star Trek also watched the animated series The Legend of Korra on the service, and this was another factor in deciding to add Prodigy to Paramount+.[25] At that time, the series was revealed to have been ordered for 20 episodes,[2] with each 10-episode season being aired on Nickelodeon after its Paramount+ debut and before the next season is released.[1][2]

Writing

The Hageman brothers announced the series' writers room in July 2019, which includes Julie and Shawna Benson, Diandra Pendleton-Thompson, Chad Quandt, Aaron Waltke, Lisa Shoop Boyd, Nikhil Jayaram, Erin McNamara, and Keith Sweet.[26] Star Trek author David Mack served as a consultant and adviser on the series.[27] Astrophysicist Erin Macdonald also served as a consultant on the series after being hired as a general science advisor for the Star Trek franchise.[28] Kurtzman stated in August 2020 that the writers were close to completing their work for the first two seasons of the series.[29]

Casting

During the 2020 New York Comic Con, Kate Mulgrew was announced to be reprising her role of Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager. Further casting for the series was expected to be revealed in the following months.[7] Kurtzman said bringing Mulgrew back for the series was part of the Hagemans' initial pitch, and he felt their reasoning was compelling enough to meet his requirements that "legacy characters" like Janeway only be brought back for a very specific reason. The production had approached Mulgrew about starring in the series a year before the official announcement, and Kurtzman was surprised that her involvement had not leaked during that time.[30] Mulgrew had initially been reluctant to join the series, but after several months of negotiations she was convinced to reprise her role by the idea of introducing Star Trek to a new generation of fans.[31]

Mulgrew revealed in January 2021 that recording for the first season had been completed, and recording on the second season was about to begin.[32] The series' bridge crew features six young misfits,[25] none of whom are human, which is a first for the franchise.[1] The main voice cast for the series was announced in June 2021, including Rylee Alazraqui as Rok-Tahk, Brett Gray as Dal, Angus Imrie as Zero, Jason Mantzoukas as Jankom Pog, Ella Purnell as Gwyn, and Dee Bradley Baker as Murf.[5] At the end of August, John Noble was announced as voicing Gwyn's father, the Diviner, with Jimmi Simpson cast as the Diviner's enforcer Drednok.[6]

Billy Campbell revealed in February 2021 that he was reprising his guest role of Thadiun Okona from Star Trek: The Next Generation in the series, and said his role was one of several "legacy characters" that were returning for Prodigy.[13] Robert Beltran, who portrayed Chakotay in Voyager, said he was working on Prodigy in August,[33] and was confirmed that October to be reprising his role as Captain Chakotay alongside other recurring guests Daveed Diggs as Commander Tysess, Jameela Jamil as Ensign Asencia, and Jason Alexander as Dr. Noum. Alexander previously had a different guest role in Voyager.[12]

Animation

Kurtzman expected it would take around a year for the series' animation work to be completed.[18] In May 2019, Kurtzman said the series would be nothing like the first animated Star Trek series and was "something that has never been done before" in Star Trek,[34] adding a month later that it also would be very different from Lower Decks. He explained that unlike the previous animated Star Trek series, this one would feature computer-generated animation and was aiming for a more cinematic style that he compared to the series Love, Death & Robots in terms of "beauty and lighting and cinema".[35] Kadin further compared the style to the Hagemans' previous work on Ninjago and Trollhunters.[20] Producer Dan Hageman said that from the start the show was planned as CGI animation and "We wanted the show to have an epic scale, to feel like an animated movie." Hagemen also appreciated that CGI allowed them to fine tune the facial expressions of the characters to more closely match the actors performances.[36]

Speaking in August 2020, Kurtzman said work on the series' animation was "barreling ahead, full steam ahead" in contrast to the live-action Star Trek series which had been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[29] In February 2021, Kurtzman said the series would feature film-quality animation that could hold up if projected in cinemas.[25] The USS Protostar, the central ship for the series, has a similar design to the USS Voyager. The series' opening title sequence follows the Protostar through various spatial anomalies, planets, and debris fields that form into images of the main cast.[37]

Music

In August 2020, Kurtzman said Nami Melumad had been hired to compose the music for the series after impressing with her work on the Star Trek: Short Treks short "Q&A". He did not reveal which series she had been hired for, but Melumad indicated that it was Prodigy.[38] She was confirmed to be composing for the series in October.[39] The series' main theme was composed by Michael Giacchino, who supervised Melumad's Short Treks work and also composed the music for the Kelvin Timeline Star Trek films.[37][40]

Marketing

The series' title and logo were officially announced at the virtual Star Trek Universe panel during the July 2020 Comic-Con@Home convention,[22] while Mulgrew's casting was announced at another virtual Star Trek Universe panel for New York Comic Con in October 2020.[7] In February 2021, a first look at the bridge crew of Prodigy was released during the ViacomCBS Investor Day,[1] and a first look at the series' version of Janeway was revealed during the "First Contact Day" virtual event on April 5, 2021, celebrating the franchise on the fictional holiday marking first contact between humans and aliens in the Star Trek universe.[3] At the Television Critics Association press tour in August 2021, the series' opening titles were revealed along with Giacchino's main theme.[37]

Release

Star Trek: Prodigy premiered on October 28, 2021, on the streaming service Paramount+ with its first 10-episode season.[41] [1][2] CTV Sci-Fi Channel will broadcast the series in Canada.[42] The season will be released in Europe in 2022, with the expansion of Paramount+.[43]

On November 8, 2021, it was announced that the show would go on a midseason hiatus after its fifth episode aired on November 18, 2021, and will return on January 6, 2022.[44] Later, it was announced that Star Trek: Prodigy would get a TV premiere which is now set for December 17, 2021 on Nickelodeon.[45]

Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes the show has an approval rating of 89% based on reviews from 9 critics.[46] On Metacritic it has a score of 68 based on reviews from 5 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[47]

Alex Maidy of JoBlo.com rated the series "great" and wrote: "Star Trek: Prodigy proves that it is entirely possible for Gene Roddenberry's vision to be both action-packed and thought-provoking... it is a rip-roaring adventure that will keep adults engaged, make kids think, and opens up endless possibilities for Star Trek more than any other series since the 1966 original."[48] Tara Bennett of IGN rated the episode 7 out of 10 and wrote: "Prodigy has the slick look of a high-end movie" and "The premiere sets the stage for a credible course for adventure that has the potential to grow into something special." Bennet praised the performances and said Ella Purnell's Gwyn and Rylee Alazraqui's Rok-Tahk are already stealing a lot of their scenes.[49] Joel Keller of Decider.com wrote, "The animation, writing and action sequences make the show equally accessible to Trekkers, as well. Mulgrew's performance as a slightly more wise-acre version of Voyager's Janeway grounds the show in Trek's universe, but only just enough to not get it mired in the franchise’s drier, more talky tendencies. The first episode is full of well-designed action that ratchets up tension and keeps all viewers engaged, whether they’re kids or grownups."[50] Jeff Ewing of Slashfilm praised Star Trek: Prodigy's bold themes and unique tone aimed at both young and old audiences, noting it is "well-paced for modern audiences with a strong set of character introductions, good action sequences, and a lot of open-ended potential. It strikes as ably accomplishing its goals to introduce younger audiences to the world of "Trek," finding a strong path to do so with its young characters' guided trip through the galaxy."[51] Keith DeCandido of Tor.com, praised Prodigy and said it was even better than Discovery, Picard, and Lower Decks. DeCandido noted that "the target audience is on Nickelodeon, but honestly this show's audience is anyone who loves Star Trek, because this is very much a Trek show."[52] Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club gave the first episode a grade B and said the show had potential. He wrote: "The series is aimed at children, but in a cheery all-ages kind of way that avoids insulting its audience even if it never quite manages to impress them."[53]

CNN.com's Brian Lowry was critical of the first episode and wrote: "The show mostly just transparently trades off the "Trek" title without feeling like it's going anywhere, boldly or otherwise."[54]
