It has been a long road to get to tomorrow’s release of the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy. The first season wrapped up in December 2022 on Paramount+. Since it has been a while, there is a new short video to remind you what went down on the USS Protostar.
Watch these before season 2
The official Star Trek site has released this nice refresher of season 1, which also includes a few preview bits from season 2.
And in case you missed it, here is the trailer for the new season…

Co-creators Dan and Kevin Hageman also took to Twitter/X today to thank fans for their support and to also suggest fans be careful of sharing spoilers.

TrekMovie’s Prodigy July Binge-watch
Speaking of spoilers, TrekMovie will be be covering and reviewing Prodigy throughout July. All 20 episodes are being released on Monday so this will be different than how we have covered weekly releases on Paramount+. After talking with the producers about how the season is structured we have decided to binge the show throughout July. For each of the next four weeks, we will cover five episodes with individual (but shorter than usual) recap/reviews for each episode (combining 4 of the two-parters). Each Friday’s All Access Star Trek podcast through July will discuss a different 5-episode arc.
Everything starts on Monday, July 1st with our first recap/review covering the 2-part season premiere (“Into the Breach”). Recap/reviews for episodes 3, 4, and 5 will follow on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with a discussion of the first 5-episode arc on Friday’s All Access Star Trek podcast. The pattern will then repeat over the following three weeks. This will all wrap up just as San Diego Comic-Con kicks off at the end of the month. We also hope to have more Prodigy interviews and analysis in July, and beyond.
We welcome fans joining us through July covering 5 episodes each week. However, for those choosing to binge the show even faster, we ask readers to avoid spoilers for episodes beyond the latest recap/review in our comments section.
Season 2 of Prodigy will stream on Netflix globally (excluding Canada, Nordics, CEE, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Russia, Belarus and Mainland China) and season one is currently available on SkyShowtime in the Nordics, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Central and Eastern Europe with season two coming soon. Season two has launched in France on France Televisions channels and Okoo. TrekMovie is still trying to confirm details on a release of season 2 in Canada.
