During the franchise-encompassing Star Trek Universe panel at this year's Comic-Con@Home virtual contention, Star Trek: Prodigy showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman revealed an official teaser trailer for the upcoming animated series.
The trailer introduces Trekkies to Prodigy's unique cast of characters, starting with Dal (Brett Gray), an alien who wants to escape his life of forced labor. Dal is joined by the show's other key characters -- Gwyn (Ella Purnell), Jankom Pog (Jason Mantzoukas), Murf (Dee Bradley Baker), Zero (Angus Imrie) and Rok-Tahk (Rylee Alazraqui) -- as he happens upon an abandoned Starfleet ship (serial number NX-76885) and embarks on a cosmic journey.
Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, as well as CBS Studios' own Eye Animation Studios, Star Trek: Prodigy is slated to premiere on the Paramount+ streaming service this coming fall. It will also arrive on Nickelodeon itself later on. A CG-animated series "aimed at younger audiences," Prodigy follows "a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search for a better future."
The official synopsis notes that these "six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered -- a first in the history of the Star Trek Franchise -- but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents." To that end, Prodigy is already confirmed to feature the return of Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway, main protagonist of the 1995-2001 live-action series Star Trek: Voyager.
Star Trek: Prodigy premieres on Paramount+ this fall. Mulgrew previously indicated that a second season was in the cards as well. Prodigy continues to build Star Trek's modern animated lineup, which currently consists of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Lower Decks premiered on CBS All Access, which has since been rebranded as Paramount+, last August. Season 2 of Lower Decks arrives later this year on Aug. 12, with a third season currently in the works.
