new star trek on netflix

What Star Trek Titles Are Streaming on Netflix?

Star Trek is a name that almost everyone recognizes, it has been around for decades and has inspired millions around the world. It’s had extensive coverage in all manner of media formats but one of the biggest has been its TV and movie presence. Since its inception, there have been 726 individual Star Trek episodes spread out across decades. We’ve also seen 13 feature-length movies too.

We are also lucky enough to welcome a new Netflix Original  Star Trek: Discovery. The first new Star Trek TV show in 16 years will be coming to UK Netflix on the 25th of September (with new episodes releasing every Monday). But for our viewers from the United States, the show will debut on September 2nd on CBS  and made available on their streaming service, CBS All Access.

The new show stars  The Walking Dead ‘s Sonequa Martin-Green as Burnham, first officer of  The Discovery . The series is set 10 years before the original ventures of Kirk and Spock of the Enterprise.

The premise for the majority of the shows stays relatively similar. It takes place throughout the Universe onboard an intergalactic ship, For example, the Enterprise or the Voyager. Over the years we have been introduced to many crews, comprised of different actors and actresses. There is much debate on which adaptation of Star Trek is the best, but one thing is for sure. It has developed a cult following and even has a university degree dedicated to learning the language in the show.

As the Star Trek universe has expanded, it has become increasingly more difficult to keep track of all the content streaming on Netflix. But don’t worry, we’re here to cover every Star Trek title currently available, due to release in the future, and has sadly left our Netflix screens.

To see the entire catalog of different Star Trek we suggest you head over to Wikipedia who has the best catalog.

We would like to explain that the list below only refers to what’s available on  US Netflix.

Streaming to Netflix Right Now

• Star Trek: The Next Generation (1993 – 7 Seasons)
• Star Trek: Voyager (2000 – 7 Seasons)
• Star Trek (1963 – 3 Seasons)
• Star Trek: Enterprise (2004 – 4 Seasons)
• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1999 – 7 Seasons)

Coming Soon to Netflix Streaming

• Star Trek: Discovery  from 25th September

Has Streamed on Netflix at some point but left

Back in July of 2016, 7 Feature Length Star Trek Movies tragically left US  Netflix. Along with this blow, it seems like other the months, all the Star Trek movies have been removed from American Netflix.

Feature Length Movies

• Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
• Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
• Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

• Star Trek: Generations (1994)
• Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
• Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
• Star Trek (2009)
• Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

If you are slightly disappointed in hearing that so many of the classic films are no longer available to stream, remember if you are lucky enough to have a Netflix DVD account,  it is likely that you can rent all the classics.

Although, if you live in either the UK or Australia  you are in luck! You will soon be welcoming the entire backlog of Star Trek titles. So soon you’ll have more content than you know what to do with.

We’ll keep this post updated over time with every single Star Trek title as things tend to come and go from the service regularly.

Upcoming Star Trek TV Shows: What's Ahead For The Sci-Fi Franchise

Here's what's ahead for Star Trek.

It’s a golden era for Star Trek tv shows, as the franchise is churning out more content than ever before. Fans with a Paramount+ subscription can stream a plethora of old and new content from one of the greatest sci-fi franchises of all time.

There’s a ton of new Star Trek content coming in the future, including the debut of a new show as well as the return of all the ones fans already know well. For those who need a breakdown of what all to expect, look no further because here’s where and when all the new Trek will arrive in 2023 and beyond. There’s even some information on planned shows that aren’t quite ready yet, but hopefully, we’ll see them soon enough. 

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 - Premiering On April 4th 2024

Captain Michael Burnham and the crew are back, and based on what we've seen and heard about Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 so far, some changes are on the way. Season 5 will see the crew race against others in an attempt to secure an ancient power, and will apparently have a tonal shift that will skew more toward action and adventure. We also learned that this coming season will be the final adventure , as Paramount+ decided to end the series after this coming season. The final season will kick off in April and, fingers crossed, leave an avenue open for more stories with these characters in the 32nd century. 

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 - In Production

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is coming back for Season 3, and is currently filming for the upcoming season. It's likely the season will kick off with the second part of the adventure started in the Season 2 finale . Pike must decide whether or not he's going to listen to Starfleet and retreat to avoid further conflict with the Gorn or to stay and try to save the kidnapped crew members. I have a hunch I know what decision he'll make, but I'm also very invested in seeing if Scotty will remain with the crew and what other adventures will come as well. 

Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 - Coming In 2024

Paramount+ originally renewed Star Trek: Prodigy for Season 2, but announced later that it had been canceled alongside other shows on the platform. While the news was a bummer to many and encouraged responses from stars like Kate Mulgrew , there is a silver lining. After some talk with other companies, Paramount managed to negotiate a deal where the series will transition over to Netflix , and Season 2 will release over there. At this time, it's unknown whether or not this will lead to more seasons of Prodigy , but fans are thankful they'll at least get to see the season that was being worked on coming up in 2024. 

Section 31 Movie - Production Underway

Section 31 was one of the first Star Trek spinoffs announced after Discovery , and yet it took the longest to get off the ground. The series was supposed to Michelle Yeoh ’s Phillipa Georgiou and her efforts in the secret ops Starfleet faction that does the jobs that others in the organization would rather not know about. Other former Discovery stars, like Shazad Latif, were involved at one point, but some believed the odds of it happening aren't great after Michelle Yeoh's Oscar win .

It turns out Yeoh was interested in making it happen, and Paramount+ decided to alter the idea to a movie . Fans are excited about the project all the same, and ready to see Michelle Yeoh back in her role. Production on the film is officially underway, and it's looking like a premiere sometime in late 2024 to 2025 is likely.

Starfleet Academy - Production Starting In 2024

Alex Kurtzman revealed not long ago that Star Trek is actively working on another new live-action series , and it’s going to be set at Starfleet Academy. Of course, we don’t know exactly what era this series is set to take place during or who is going to star in it yet. We don’t really know much of anything, though it’s worth noting that Star Trek: Discovery did write off its character Tilly when she took an offer at Starfleet Academy. The episode where that happened seemed like it could be a backdoor pilot for the show, but again, we have no idea. We do know that the writer's room is underway, but details are scant beyond that.  

As shown above, there’s still a ton of Star Trek on the way in 2024, and beyond. The only way to watch these shows is with a Paramount+ subscription , which is totally worth picking up with the increasing amount of shows and movies available to watch.

‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ To Relaunch On Netflix Including Upcoming Second Season

| October 11, 2023 | By: Anthony Pascale 133 comments so far

Almost four months after being removed from Paramount+, the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy has found a new streaming home. The show is headed to Netflix.

Prodigy saved… on Netflix!

The news was first reported by Variety , but has also been confirmed by CBS Studios: Netflix has picked up Prodigy. The first season will debut later this year, and the second season (which was never released on Paramount+) is coming in 2024. Today’s announcement confirms Prodigy is coming to Netflix in the USA. [ International update ] Additional Netflix territories are expected to be announced closer to the launch of season one in the USA later this year.

The removal of Prodigy from Paramount+ was part of a larger series of cost-cutting moves made by the streamer. This is the first removed Paramount+ show that has found a new home. It is also the first original Star Trek show in the new era that will exist exclusively outside of Paramount+ in the USA. After the removal from Paramount+, an active #SaveStarTrekProdigy fan campaign emerged, which included flying a banner above the Hollywood offices of potential new homes for the show (with Netflix among them).

Producers and Mulgrew celebrate the news

Co-creators and showrunners Dan and Kevin Hageman and star Kate Mulgrew sent out a message to fans via the official announcement:

“Thank you to our incredible ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ fans, who championed not just a show, but a community that’s always been connected by the belief that we build a better future together,” said executive producer Alex Kurtzman and co-showrunners Dan and Kevin Hageman. “We set out to inspire you, but you inspired us. The team is still hard at work on the second season, and we can’t wait to share it with the amazing fans around the world.” “I’ve always held that the Star Trek fan base is among the strongest and most intelligent in the world. They have shown their collective passion, and we’re happy to be able to celebrate Prodigy once again,” said Kate Mulgrew, voice of Admiral Janeway.

The Hagemans also sent out a special message to fans on social media:

A message to our incredible fans from us and @Alex_Kurtzman . Happy to share that #StarTrekProdigy has found a NEW HOME! Star Trek: Prodigy is coming to @Netflix later in 2023, and all-new episodes in 2024. #SAVEDStarTrekProdigy pic.twitter.com/3VhYMDZQKm — Dan & Kevin Hageman (@brothershageman) October 11, 2023

Season 2 in the “final mix”… promises return of a rivalry

The first 20-episode season wrapped up on Paramount+ in December of 2022. At the time, work on the second season of 20 episodes was already well underway. When the show was removed from Paramount+ in June Paramount made it clear that work would continue as they searched for a new home for the series. A teaser clip for the second season was released during the 57 Year Mission convention in August, revealing it will feature the USS Voyager-A and the return of The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager (voiced by Robert Picardo).

In a recent TrekMovie interview, co-executive producer Aaron Waltke confirmed the team should be finished with all 20 episodes of season 2 by the end of this year or early 2024. Originally, Paramount+ had planned to debut the first half of the season in the winter of 2023. Recently, Waltke gave an update on the season, teasing one of the plotlines for an episode that will explore one of the franchise’s “most fascinating rivalries.”

Recently watched the final mix for another episode of #StarTrekProdigy Season 2 — one that finally explores the aftermath of one of the most fascinating rivalries in the franchise's history. You are not prepared. 💫🖖 — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) September 26, 2023

Awesome news though they paid Netflix millions to get Discovery back only to end it after the 5th season and then they pulled Prodigy from Paramount to sell to Netflix?

Strange as hell. I understand why they bought the international rights back from Netflix as Discovery is a big ratings hit for Paramount and they only canceled it because they were (and still are) having major money trouble and had to cancel some of their bigger budget shows.

But i had hoped that Prodigy have good ratings since it was a really good show but i guess this shows that it wasn’t a success for Paramount.

I get the impression that it was the poor performance on Nickelodeon that was the issue for Paramount. The show was supposed to engage with a younger audience and it clearly failed in that regard. That’s not necessarily an issue for Netflix, they’ve been investing heavily in animated content and they don’t have a vested interest in making Star Trek accessible to kids. Whilst I envisage that they’ll still keep a family friendly tone for the show it’s success will be purely determined by the numbers and they won’t care if it’s mostly older Star Trek fans that are watching it. Incidentally I could see the Academy show running into similar issue. Long-term fans might love it but if it doesn’t engage with their target demographic and grow the audience then it will likely be considered a failure and shopped around.

Yup…, I concur with your assessment! 60 y/o here, and I love Prodigy! Though sometimes…, it did kind of have a dark star wars feel to it. But I’m glad netflix picked it up, because like Kurtzman & Mulgrew said…,

“Thank you to our incredible ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ fans, who championed not just a show, but a community that’s always been connected by the belief that we build a better future together,”  “I’ve always held that the Star Trek fan base is among the strongest and most intelligent in the world. They have shown their collective passion

I believe it will find a larger base with older & younger viewers on NF. Besides…, Janeway is the bomb! That’s one of the main reasons I watch prodigy, and with them bringing in the doctor in the 2nd season, makes it even better! I loved the doctor’s humor. While I do like the kid friendly format…, I’d like to see them add a little more Lower Deck spice to the action.., meaning I enjoy LD, because of references to ST universe, and their occasional off color speech. I don’t know if you could do that with PRO because it geared for a younger audience, but I would like for them to bump it up a notch.

I also like the Character Dal…., kind of a Disney “Aladdin” of ST with his charming self.

Also, I just learned recently that the Actor that plays Jankom Pog, that his voice sounded vaguely familiar. One day I was watching the TV and this Mucinex commercial came on with this character that was green and looked like a loogie. That the same voice that Jankom Pog uses I thought, and looked it up, and sure enough it was him.

Incidentally I could see the Academy show running into similar issue. Long-term fans might love it but if it doesn’t engage with their target demographic and grow the audience then it will likely be considered a failure and shopped around.

Yup, I concur with you there as well. It’s how it will be written. Will it be 90210 in Sanfran, or will it be more about stories like when wes crusher (TNG) was in the incident with the NOVA squadron in SFleet? Not sure about Sec 31 though…, seems kind of dark/militaristic for starfleet, but who knows?

If they gave me two show that I could produce on ST (In my dreams)

1) Would be “Klingon Court” in the ST VI ” The Undiscovered Country” Style.

2) Also a documentary style where past character talked/reflected on past missions/ships.

To get a feel of what I’m talking about, go to u tube and look up, “Prelude to Axanar” Brilliantly laid out with interviews with past klingon and SF captains and officers talking strategy and ships. I could see Trip (ENT) doing well in this format. Different timeline…, but I’d love to see trip & parris as buddies in a crossover of some type.

Ok… this was way to long…, but I was excited to see Prodigy back! : )

As much as folks complain about the “writing” of the new shows…P2A has some absolutely abominable teleplay.

The front half of season1 was surprisingly decent. But I would agree that the writing, and the show overall really dropped off in the 2nd half. And honestly them finding Star Fleet totally felt like a series ending event.

P2A = Prelude to Axanar.

Sorry. Was unaware of that abbreviation.

The only fan production I’ve seen has been Continues. Which honestly was better than about 95% of what Secret Hideout has done. And for a ton less $$ too.

This was an amazing post Ajay and agree with nearly all of it! It’s great to see older fans so enthusiastic about Trek, especially with the more modern shows like Prodigy and LDS!

Agreed, nice post. Thoughtful.

Some nice ideas Ajay. I have seen Prelude to.Xanar, Its an interesting idea, I don’t know if I could necessarily see the docudrama approach working for a full series but it would be a novel approach for an episode or ‘special presentation’. SNW would be ideal for this, it could even be a way of bringing in surviving legacy actors like Shatner or Takei who could be contributing to a documentary based on an incident at the beginning of their careers.

I don’t think Academy is being geared to a younger audience. It’s the next flagship Trek show.

I’d be surprised if they’re not targeting a younger demographic but maybe I’m oversimplifying things. It’s still a sequel series to DSC so they’ll still be counting on that audience and I think that every Trek project will still try to find ways to appeal to the core fans even if they’re trying to modernise the storytelling. Unlike Prodigy this will be solely on Paramount+ so maybe they’ll be more forgiving of it doesn’t bring in younger fans. As a Trek fan I don’t want to see any new show fail.

I agree with all of this. It really does sound like PRO had the same issues that TAS had and that it was supposedly a kids show that was being less watched by kids, but more by adults. Nickelodean probably didn’t see enough kids watching and that’s who all the commercials were aimed for so it was gone.

And I also think by marketing so hard it was a ‘kids show’ kept a lot of the older casual fans away too. If they made it more clear it’s a family show for everyone (this and SNW really are the only family shows in modern Trek right now) then the reception would’ve been stronger. But it’s amazing how many posts I saw from fans on other sites saying because they don’t have kids, they don’t have an interest in the show as if that was a precursor.

But being on Netflix, as you said, they won’t care if less kids are watching. And now they can market season 2 much differently and make it clear to the adults they scared off the show is for them too. I mean we’re all watching it and (most of us) love it, even more than a lot of the adult live action shows; so that really does say a lot.

And we’ll see about the Academy show. I’m being optimistic about it either way.

Yeah I think Netflix are just happy to have new Star Trek content on their platform. If it does well then I’m sure we’ll get season 3. An Academy show would not be my first choice for a new Trek series but even if I have a few criticisms I’ve still enjoyed all of the Kurtzman shows so like you, I’ll keep an open mind and remain optimistic.

I’ve been watching ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ for the first time in my 30s. The high school seasons did feel a bit odd, but I can’t say the fact that most of the characters are younger than me is a problem. Hopefully ‘Starfleet Academy’ will be similar.

“‘You Couldn’t Live with Your Own Failure, Where Did that Bring You? Back to Me.'” — Netflix…

Internationally, at least in Latinoamerica, it joins The Original Series, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, which still stream on Netflix here (Picard does on Prime Video).

Same here in Sweden!

Hallåj från Sverige också!

In France we have Picard on Prime + Lower Decks (but only S01/S02, dont know if the rest will come))

Lower Decks is only on P+ here.

When I was recently in the Philippines, I couldn’t access Paramount Plus but was pleasantly surprised to find Star Trek on Netflix.

I hope they never remove it.

LOL I remember being in the Philippines the first season of Discovery and was happy to see it land on my Netflix there as an American. I thought I was going to have to wait until I got back home to watch the next episode.

Excellent news. I hope Netflix does a season 3 as well, but for now I’m just excited that we’re getting season 2.

If the ratings are as bad as it was on Nick and P+ then don’t hold your breath.

“As of August 2023, Paramount+ had 61 million subscribers. This was up from 60 million subscribers in the previous quarter.”

“As of the second quarter of 2023, Netflix had 238.39 million paid subscribers worldwide. This was an increase of 5.9 million subscribers from the previous quarter.”

More people are likely to watch Prodigy on Netflix than they did on Paramount+.

You need to remember that Prodigy was a Nickelodeon show and was never intended to be shown on Paramount+. The ratings on Nickelodeon was what really caused the cancellation. Also I don’t think Star Trek fans carry that much weight on Netflix.

Well, here many of the classic series have a sort of note that says words to the effect of “Most watched show by subscribers”, or “members”. Something like that. So, they’re certainly still very popular.

Those shows were removed years ago. In the US at least.

In the US. Not here and, going by an above comment, Sweden.

TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT are on Netflix in most of the world. From my understanding in the USA, they’re on Paramount+ and in Canada on Crave.

Yeah the classic shows are still on Netflix worldwide in 200 countries (minus China sadly). I’m convinced that’s why those shows have all gotten a second life today with newer and younger fans because A. they are seen in more places than they ever been and B. Just more accessible/easier to find.

I still remember talking to a girl from the Philippines on Reddit a year ago who got into Star Trek by watching Enterprise. She was only 15 and had never even heard of Star Trek until she started watching it on Netflix. Now she wanted to watch it all and was asking people what should she try next after she finished ENT.

That’s the difference in a giant global streamer like Netflix vs something like Paramount+ (which is still not in the Philippines, at least legally, among many others).

…good points, Tiger. And for those of us here in the US, a bit of humble perspective.

Thanks Danpaine! I’m just happy to see the show reach people it probably wouldn’t have without the ease we have now. And sadly it’s unheard of to find Trek playing on TV in most Asian countries, but now it’s in everyone’s pocket basically if they have a phone and Wifi (which is the main source for the internet for most in the Philippines).

There’s no telling what kind of viewership numbers it’ll need for Netflix to order a third season, and even if it happens we’ll have to wait an inordinately long time for it anyway. If nothing else, though, in a matter of months this will double the total amount of Star Trek: Prodigy we can watch, and that’s a very welcome turn of events.

Whether it gets renewed for S3 or not, more people will be able to see it, since Netflix has wayyyy more subscribers than Paramount+, so that’s a win in and of itself.

Exactly! Of course as fans, we’re always thinking what’s next, but we have to take one battle at a time. Just to have PRO back and on Netflix is a huge win in itself. Being able to see season 2 is the biggest win for old fans. But it’s just nice it has a permanent home (again) now that people will hopefully find in the years to come even if it doesn’t go beyond season 2. That WAS the entire point of making all these IP shows in the first place, to be an anchor for old and new fans to find years long after they been cancelled.

But I guess someone needed to remind Paramount about that before they got rid of it.

Me too bro!

I’m just happy we are getting second season now. Anything beyond that is a plus. And Netflix has real viewers so way more people will be exposed to it now unlike P+ which has only a quarter of the subs Netflix has and may not even be around in a few years lol.

All of NuTrek might end up back on that site with old Trek if P+ dies off.

That’s the crazy thing, if P+ falls, streamers like Netflix may eventually be the home of all Trek shows like they originally wanted. Now that may not ever happen obviously and P+ could survive in the long run, but I don’t think anyone would be that shocked if we start watching more Trek shows on other streaming services the way things are going even if it does survive. P+ probably makes more money licensing the shows and movies to others than having them exclusively as they originally thought. Nearly every streamer out there is now moving shows/movies to other places just to survive.

PRO may not be the last Trek show being shown someplace else in America when all of this is done.

I can see that as well and LDS could be the next battle if P+ really does try to cancel it after next season.

Now there is another possibility out there and a different service could keep it going. I know it’s more complicated since I doubt Paramount will just boot the entire show like they did Prodigy… but give it time. 🙄

I think both Netflix and Amazon still want Star Trek in their library, so I wouldn’t be surprised another show can land on one of those.

Any that might even include the Legacy show if Paramount pass on it or just don’t have the money to make it. Give it to one of them instead! 😁

Cool! The current home of the Power Rangers is now the new home of Star Trek: Prodigy! Gee, I’m so ready for season two and beyond! Go fast!

Better Netflix than Tubi

Tubi is good enough for a free service!

Tubi just keeps recommending me weird adult movies.

Good news, but unless I am reading this wrong, this still seems far from a re-launch given Netflix has not committed to funding a third season, right?

This is simply offering to stream eps that have already been completed (including S2 un-aired eps), right?

So this isn’t, like say, the equivalent of Amazon taking on The Expanse.

Right, there´s no news of season 3. I´m guessing it very much depends on viewership. If people watch and talk about the show Netflix will see there´s interest for more.

That’s probably the case but this is still amazing news! And I think it’s safe to say fans will be laser focused on season 2 now lol.

At least the original storyline will be complete. 😎

A kids show that kids don’t watch won’t make that much talk.

Oddly Prodigy getting the boot from P+ has made the show much more talked about than when it was running lol. I think season 3 is in the cards but we won’t know anything until we see how well season 2 does first.

Amazon funded more seasons for that show.

YEEEEEEAAAHHH!!!!!!

INCREDIBLE NEWS!!!

I’m so happy right now! One of the best Trek shows ever is not only coming back but is on one the biggest streamers in the world. Hopefully it means we can now get more seasons too, but it will just be great to have the show air it’s second season and now we get the kids back along with Admiral Janeway, the Doctor and Voyager A. Something to look forward to!!! 😀👍

And I know I’m waaay jumping the gun here but maybe LDS can continue on Netflix in season 6 if P+ is too broke to keep that going as well. I’m just thinking out loud.

Happy day man. Happy day.

Happy to see Prodigy come to Netflix. At least the earlier seasons of Lower Decks are available on Amazon Prime outside the US so the show may also end up there if Paramount+ decides not to continue it.

I actually thought the show would end up Amazon in America too since Netflix got so burned with Discovery.

I definitely think LDS could end up on Amazon as well since it’s still there in a few other markets. P+ just doesn’t have the audience that Amazon and Netflix has so it’s a win IMO. Discovery could even have a sixth season if it stayed on Netflix.

Even though I own S1 on bluray, I’m going to watch it a couple hundred times on Netflix just to support Prodigy.

For sure. And I have season one on digital but I’m still going to rewatch it on Netflix before season 2 starts.

P+ is not broke; it’s called corporate greed. And let’s remember, P+ isn’t just original content. It’s also all first-run content for CBS’ live broadcast network. You can’t watch CBS shows like the FBI franchise or Survivor or The Amazing Race on Hulu anymore (even though they may have older seasons); just like NBC did with Peacock, CBS pulled all first-run content and made it exclusive to P+. Add in the content from MTV/VH1 (the Drag Race franchise is a big one), Comedy Central, etc … and the live sports component … it’s not Netflix, and it never will be, but P+ has carved a niche for itself. I don’t think it’s in any danger of disappearing.

Anyway – I’ll jump off that soap box. I would love for Netflix to pick Prodigy up for a third (and possibly fourth) season; although I wonder if they would decrease the episode count from 20 to 10?

As far as LDS goes, I don’t think P+ is going to drop it. It and SNW are now the “Trek mainstays.”

No it may not be, but it may not be able to keep making expensive shows either the way Netflix Amazon and Disney does. They may not be broke but probably not swimming in money either and probably a big reason they can’t make another movie. Maybe if it was a sure thing but it clearly isn’t anymore.

And I like P+ actually. I don’t want it to go. I still don’t keep it all year but it feels like a real streaming site now that has more than CBS shows.

I hope you’re right about LDS. You out of all people know how much I love it. It made me fall in love with Star Trek again. Hopefully it will still be making new seasons for several more years. 😎🖖

This is welcomed news. I’m defiantly a fan of the second half of season 1 which got really good. By the time I was ready for a re-watch it was gone. I’m very curious to see how the gang will do now that they are in Star Fleet. Also I’m pretty sure the rivals are the Romulans after the Neutral Zone incursion in the second half of season 1.

Sad, if they had kept it kids exploring space and learning about Starfleet with some action/adventure mixed with STEM I think this would have been a hit on Nickelodeon (a bit of a return to Star Trek being Star Wars with intelligence) Instead its Voyager continued with nonsensical time travel stories and soap opera for kids missing being in the 90s. Instead what, Transformers is going to be the action/adventure kids show?!? Unreal.

I agree. I would prefer the kids to be having their own independent adventures. It was fine having hologram Janeway, but I really don’t like real Janeway being in it.

Yeah the show jumped the rails when it became the voyager redux show.

Didn’t the show air on P+ first and then Nickelodeon months later? I doubt that rollout helped!

Nah, it’s more that Paramount+ and Nick are hemorrhaging viewers. That’s something Netflix is already doing much better with, given their audience is 10 times larger.

And the time travel plot makes perfect sense, so I have no idea what you are talking about.

You should read the posts from people that yell and moan about all the shows that Netflix justifiably cancels because of low ratings.

You should read the posts from the people that spam the comments section of articles with angry and pessimistic comments about a show getting saved. Pretty sad!

What you call pessimistic, I call realistic.

I think one of the reasons the show started going downhill in the 2nd half was because it was becoming more and more obvious they were going to reach Star Fleet very soon. This should not have happened until the very end of the series. The show would have been much better served to be them trying to find Star Fleet and having their adventures along the way. Holo-Janeway was really all they needed to help guide the youngsters. It didn’t serve the show well to start turning the show into a semi-Voyager spinoff. And all that time travel stuff was ridiculous and completely unnecessary.

A bit of a shame as it started off as the most promising nu-Trek show ever.

“A bit of a shame as it started off as the most promising nu-Trek show ever.” Agreed.

So, so thrilled about this. Prodigy’s my favorite of the new shows, and I’ve been actively posting online in support of the show. And everything we’ve seen and heard of season 2 has me even more hyped to watch it. Hopefully it can go many more seasons, but at the very least I’m glad we’ll be able to watch season 2 after the hard work everyone’s put in.

Yep, I been super hyped for season 2 since they showed the clip with the Doctor. I’m just happy we’ll be able to see it and it didn’t turn into a Batgirl situation lol.

AND THEY ARE ON THE VOYAGER A!!! This warms an old Trekkie’s heart!

Huzzah! Even if it ends after season 2, I still feel this is a victory of sorts.

Bummer, I just cancelled Nexflix ….

But that is the beauty of current streaming. When a service doesn’t have what you want, you drop it. With no annual commitment, you can pick Netflix up again in 6 months or whenever PRO season 2 premieres. Win-win for both you (saving money till then and seeing PRO season 3) and Netflix (seeing a subscriber come back due to new content).

Yeah, I mean like, duh! Poor Phil! :-)

Me too, but now I envision a happy binge when it’s closer to being complete. Glad this show is back.

There’s a “new invention.” You just sign up for a streaming service for a month or two and binge watch all the shows you want, then move onto the next streaming service.

The good news is, Phil, that they will let you come back. :)

Season 2 is months away if not longer Phil, you’ll have plenty of time to sign up again. :)

Cool news for Prodigy fans.. Now let’s have an official ST4 announcement!😎

While we’re at it, also an LDS season 6 announcement!

RRE: ST4…..they said they were thinking about it. A lot.

AWESOME! I love this show so much! Bring on the VOYAGER-A!

that’s pretty unexpected and cool. ive seen like 10 eps so far and it was really good. maybe netflix can save other trek shows. they used to have discovery worldwide and was very happy with it until paramount cancelled the deal that was paying for the whole show. the entire disco budget was paid for by netflix for international rights. then once paramount had it back in the fold they cancelled it before season 5 even airs. still makes no sense.

yay. now do disco :)

What are the chance of a season 3? Zero?

Or a movie.

I imagine if the show does well on Netflix there is no reason it couldn’t get a season 3. But it will depend on the numbers of views the show will get.

Congrats on the new home.

Congrats to the Star Trek: Prodigy team! Great news and now even more people will watch it!

Look at Netflix doing something right for a change. I was convinced it was going to be Amazon.

Good to know that Netflix is still interested. I once read that years ago Netflix had hopes to become the international home for all the new Star Trek shows but CBS screwed them over when they gave Picard to Amazon Prime. Then they also pulled Discovery from Netflix a few years later.

All of Paramount Plus’ ongoing financial challenges and their impact on funding future Trek shows aside, this is truly awesome news! It would have been a very bitter disappointment to have such a groundbreaking show killed off before allowing it to fully develop! Thank you NETFLIX!!

Why does everyone buy into the hype that Paramount Plus is having financial difficulties/broke/hemorrhaging money? They’re not.

I want / hope for a Titan animated show (Riker or Shaw based) in the vein of The Clone Wars, where its for kids but older kids alla Batman TAS or X-Men TAS

Great news (although I don’t subscribe to Netflix so I won’t be watching) but it is so awesome to hear that the show is saved – and on one of, or even the biggest streaming services in the world. Congrats to the cast and crew of Prodigy and so happy that their story will continue.

Congratulations to the entire writing/production crew and everyone who makes Prodigy.

Kudos to Netflix for picking up this great show!

I’m looking forward to seeing Voyager and her crew in 2024. I know we will get a S3 and beyond. I’m just really excited for everyone!

Very cool. I don’t know what metrics it needs to survive for a third but I’m grateful season 2 won’t go to waste. Looks like the team worked hard making this a good one.

prodigy now will have the largest audience of any trek series which is hilarious.

Wasn’t VOY the most streamed series back when Netflix had the Trek license? So there might be a receptive wider audience there already.

netflix was great for star trek and not just voy but ds9 and tng… it grew the fanbase… including disco which it paid for entirely incl the 4th season then paramount took it back then cancelled it before season 5 even aired. paramount should have been more into sharing to access as many fans as possible. IMO

I know Voyager was the show with the most rewatched episodes back in 2017.

I probably helped since I rewatched that show on Netflix multiple times as far back as 2010.

So Prodigy will fit well there since it’s basically a Voyager sequel.

This ^ powder face. Right on.

I’m guessing Netflix will split Season 2 in half (just like P+ did) since its also 20 episodes, which is fine, but I hope we still get a physical release at some point. Star Trek is one of the few properties I still collect physical media for.

Netflix typically releases all episodes of their shows at once. The only time I’ve seen them not do that is for content they themselves do not produce. Typically foreign content. When season 2 arrives I suspect Netflix will simply release all episodes at once especially since the report is the entire season is nearly complete and it is not slated to be released until next year.

I agree, they’ve been doing split releases more lately.

so up until discovery season 4 preemed netflix had intl rights to discovery which paid for the entire budget of the show. paramount cancelled the deal because they want disco back in the fold. proudly announces it then cancels disco before season 5 even airs. then erases prodigy and now netflix has it. i mean… that’s so kind of hilarious and ridiculous

It is hilarious. 😆

Getting rid of Discovery on Netflix is probably what helped doomed it while putting Prodigy on it is helping to save it!

It’s actually quite likely if Netflix had all the financial control and was the home of Star Trek Discovery it’s highly unlikely the show would have lasted beyond 3 seasons. And that’s being generous. Netflix notoriously cancels shows early. It’s got to be quite big to get more than 3 seasons there.

i do know netlfix does that but they paid for the 4th season… they seemed to be pretty happy… paramount was the one who gave the money back.

Yeah maybe… Netflix does cancel a lot of shows.

I actually agree with this as well. DIS could’ve lasted longer on Netflix, but looking at their own record, the chances are it would’ve been cancelled sooner than later. Netflix has made a ridiculous amount of shows but the average for them seem to be be 3-4 seasons. The only shows I can think of from the top of my head that went 5+ seasons are House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and Stranger Things which is wrapping up in season 5. And I’m sure there are other shows that continued after season 5 but probably in small company.

The reality is most shows are basically dinosaurs in the streaming market by season 5. Even Paramount+ only has one show so far that lasted longer than 5 seasons and that is The Good Fight with 6 seasons. Everything else has been cancelled sooner and most lasted less than 3.

Exactly. Well said, I still don’t understand the complete erasure of Prodigy. They don’t even mention the show, like it doesn’t exist. If not the best, Prodigy is one of the best Star Trek productions, ever.

I assume it’s going to get dropped in binge-able installments since it’s Netflix.

Personally not a huge fan of that model, I like having them doled out one by one so there’s time for more people to discuss each episode on the same schedule. With binges it always feels like the conversation around a show is over within 2 or 3 weeks.

I prefer the Netflix model of releasing all episodes at once. I don’t binge but I can watch them at whatever pace I like. And that is typically no more than in a row. 3 happens if I’m sick or something but is uncommon. Then I’ll catch one or two more a few days later. I just can’t sit around watching TV shows for hours on end. Can’t do it. I fell compelled to get up and do something.

That binging concept has one major flaw though – at least for me, the viewer: In social media or real life somebody is always ahead of you and spoils things. Kinda ruins the viewing experience. When it’s released on a steady frequency, everybody has a better chance to catch up and be on the same page. I would think that the streaming service prefers stretching a season over several weeks as well. I think P+ prefers that so viewers subscribe longer.

I find it pretty easy to avoid spoilers. But then, I don’t heavily peruse social media. And when I do see something about what I haven’t seen I avoid it. Does it always work? No. But it does far more often than not.

I think other streamers use the weekly model because they are counting on keeping subscribers for 10 weeks at least. They feel the need to stretch it out. Netflix doesn’t seem to feel the need to string subscribers along like that. Possibly because they are so established they simply don’t need to. At least they didn’t until they did that silly delay for the last episode (was more of a movie) of Stranger Things. But that seems to be an anomaly.

Not just social media. Forums like this and friends and family. If they aren’t on the same schedule then someone is always ahead or behind and it changes the shared experience a little for the worse IMO. But in the end the show is getting seen and on a high profile outlet, so that’s what’s important.

The best (Star Trek) News of 2023.

🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊 Huzzahhhh! 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

Thank you Netflix. Say, if you end up liking the numbers for Prodigy season 2. Feel like giving Discovery another shot?

Could someone explain how P+ saves money by not having Prodigy available? If the show is already made, where do the savings happen when you no longer have it in the P+ library? I’m missing something here. It’s one thing to save money by not financing a program. But once it’s made and the money spent, you no longer save anything by pulling it down… or do you?

They can cut their losses by turning its cost into a tax write-off. So the calculation here was between what it’s worth for broadcast + streaming subscriber growth/retention vs what a third party would pay vs what they could lessen their tax bill by.

This is what Warner Bros Discovery did with Batgirl and a Scooby Doo movie. They got tax write-offs because they never profited by releasing the movies and I assume they didn’t need to pay some clauses in talent contracts related to distribution. The latter is probably what informed Disney+ pulling the plug on the likes of Willow and Artemis Fowl.

I agree with those speculating that anemic Nickelodeon advertising revenue was what sealed Prodigy’s fate.

But in the end it’s just great they’ve found a home, and now it’s on Netflix to judge if it’s getting enough viewers to justify more seasons.

Netflix would probably pay far less if the show was still available on Paramount+ as well. So P+ is pulling it from their own service to be able to ask for a higher license fee.

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!!

Thank Kahless this has happened. I was literally thinking about this show yesterday and if we were going to get any news by the end of the year. But this is probably better news than I could’ve imagined and to have this on Netflix after the Discovery debacle is pretty sweet…and ironic.

And while we obviously have to thank Netflix, we really have to thank the fans more than anything. The way they galvanized around this show was just amazing from buying up all the season one discs in record days to the #SaveStarTrekProdigy campaign that was everywhere online. And let’s specifically thank fans like Michelle Stokes who did the banner campaign. I know its mentioned in the article but I wanted to cite her name specifically. This is a woman from the UK who spent some of her own money and got other fans to pitch in because she grew up watching Voyager and Janeway which led into her own daughter watching Prodigy. This is what Prodigy was meant to do, to get kids into the show along with their parents who were kids themselves watching Trek back in the 80s and 90s. That was the entire point.

Now we obviously don’t know if this will lead into a season 3 but I’m guessing it’s in the cards at least if season 2 does well enough. But I just wanted the show to have a home again, even if we got just season one. It deserved that at the very least. Now it’s on a site with a MUCH bigger audience and with a chance with more people to watch it. Even if it still doesn’t grab tons of fans it will still be more than P+, especially if Netflix carries it globally.

I’ve always made clear out of all the modern shows this one is my favorite. Love LDS, really enjoy SNW and Picard season 3 was a treat but Prodigy is oddly the show that makes Star Trek feel the most special for me again. Can’t wait to see Voyager A do her thing next season with Admiral Janeway at the helm and while we watch the kids grow and develop.

It’s a great time to be a fan! :)

Good, at least we will have some more Star Trek next year

There’s already plenty on its way. Discovery Season 5, Lower Decks Season 5, and very likely SNW season 3 before the end of the year (filming was already underway pre-strike, and will probably be back in production before end of the year).

All told with that alone, it’ll be more episodes than we got from 1987-1993, and 1999-2005.

Lots of trek still to come, don’t be a Debbie downer.

What the hell are you talking about? And by the way, the only confirmed is Discovery ending, and we can only hope for Lower Decks 5, but don’t expect to see Strange New Worlds cliffhanger resolution before 2025. So having more Star Trek next year is a good thing.

this is netflix so i give it a a year

Excellent news.

I imagine that Netflix is desperate again for content given the half-year gap in production because of the strikes, like after the covid shutdown which launched 500 real crime documentaries.

…and my wife absolutely Loves those. It’s brutal for me at home…ha.

Netflix may be in a better position than many other streamers and TV channels because they have a lot of Netflix originals that are produced outside the US and not affected by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. For example, they have quite a bunch of Korean productions, some of which have become global hits.

Yeah, we’re waiting impatiently for the second season of Attorney Woo

Star Trek: Prodigy Saved! Unaired Season 2 Finds New Home on Netflix

Listen up, Trekkies, we’ve got some prodigious news to share.

Star Trek : Prodigy , which was canceled by Paramount+ ahead of its second season premiere, has found a new home on Netflix. Season 1 will hit the streamer later this year, while the never-before-seen Season 2 will debut sometime in 2024.

Adds Kate Mulgrew, voice of Admiral Janeway, “I’ve always held that the Star Trek fan base is among the strongest and most intelligent in the world.  They have shown their collective passion, and we’re happy to be able to celebrate Prodigy once again.”

When the show was originally canceled in June, co-executive producer Aaron J. Waltke told fans via X (formally Twitter) that the Prodigy team was “completing Season 2 on schedule and seeking a new home,” adding, “Everyone on the cast and crew loves  Star Trek: Prodigy  deeply.”

Per its official logline, the younger-skewing animated series “follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future. 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.”

Along with Mulgrew, Star Trek: Prodigy ‘s primary voice cast includes Brett Gray as Dal, Ella Purnell as Gwyn, Rylee Alazraqui as Rok-Tahk, Angus Imrie as Zero, Jason Mantzoukas as Jankom Pog, Dee Bradley Baker as Murf, John Noble as The Diviner and Jimmi Simpson as Drednok.

Recurring voices include Daveed Diggs as Commander Tysess, Jameela Jamil as Ensign Asencia, Jason Alexander as Doctor Noum, Robert Beltran as Captain Chakotay and Billy Campbell as Thadiun Okona.

+1 for Netflix

At first glance I thought that was an animated picture of Matt Gaetz.

Now I am not canceling Netflix.

Hmm… condiering it’s Netflix, it’s questionable if we’ll get anything beyond season 2. But I guess we should be happy for whatever we can get.

Yeah, I can’t imagine the deal would actually allow them to make more than what has already been produced. It’s weird enough that a Trek show will be airing on another network – Paramount has worked hard to collect them all on P+. But if it does well enough on Netflix, maybe Paramount will have second thoughts and buy it back.

Indeed. Even if it goes no further—which I presume will be the case—2 seasons is better than 1. 🖖

If the show meets expectations on Netflix they could order further seasons. Generally speaking Netflix won’t be picking the show up with the view two seasons and done. They’ll want more if there’s demand from their subscribers.

And generally aren’t they know for three seasons for most shows?

Their animated shows go on for longer usually. Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous had 5 seasons, and has a sequel series out next year, which will be at least two seasons.

Best news I’ve read all day!

YES! I confess I put off watching what looked like “kiddie Trek” for a long time… but I was pleasantly surprised by how it developed and its links to the franchise (particularly Voyager). Just in case anyone is still on the fence…

So Paramount+, which promised to be the home of all things Star Trek, unceremoniously dumped their own IP, is now sharing Star Trek with their much wider-reached arch-rival Netflix. The same Netflix, where Paramount spent money to buy back some international streaming rights of Star Trek when they were launching Paramount+ internationally as the home of all things Star Trek… Business nonsense aside, I’m so happy for all the creative teams who worked on Star Trek Prodigy! They didn’t deserve the poor treatment from Paramount, I’m glad they get a wider audience with Netflix.

lol. you know if not for netflix. we would not have most current star trek content. due to netflix was back end funding new shows .up till recently.

There was no new Trek during the time those shows were on Netflix. Discovery was the first new one since Enterprise, which pre-dated Netflix streaming. How did Netflix in anyway contribute to new Trek content prior to picking up Prodigy?

They aired all the treks and movies pre paramount/cbs plus, ds9 and voyager were part of netflix till a few years ago

ST Discovery was heavily funded by Netflix and Netflix had exclusive international right sand CBS all access or Paramount + had like North American rights

Awesome 😁 so glad Netflix picked it up. Paramount was stupid to cancel it seeing as they have the other Star Trek shows. Don’t have Netflix but I’ll get it once Season 2 drops!!!

When Prodigy started, there was a plan announced that the first run would be on Paramount+ (All Access then), and there would be a later second run on Nickelodeon.

The first 10 episodes did air on Nick.

Any word on whether this deal prevents a second run of the remaining episodes on Nick at some point?

Nick cancelled Prodigy as well. that was not only paramounts doing

Not this deal, but at the writeoff time it was stated the show wouldn’t be returning to Nickelodeon

So grateful to Netflix for this. I love this show. It’s my favorite of the new Star Trek shows (though I do enjoy them all to varying degrees). Hopefully it’s successful enough to get a 3rd season, but even if it’s not, I’m just happy we’re actually be able to see this season.

I wonder what this means for a home video release? I love having Star Trek Blu Rays on my shelf, but Netflix is known for being pretty stingy will allowing that.

Um first season already is out on dvd and I’ll likely rewatch the 1st half of season 1 as again one of the best episodes even if you were a non trek fan was episode 6 as it had an all star voice cast bringing the best of the best from all the previous Star Trek shows

hopefully the ending is tidy enough

This is great news-thank you Netflix! I always had a feeling that Star Trek Prodigy would find a new home I thought that it would land on Amazon Prime, but Netflix is just fine. I hope that Prodigy fans sign up for Netflix. It is important to support Prodigy so we can have a third season &, onward. I am looking forward to viewing Season 1 again and to Season 2 in 2024.

Still hoping Netflix do this for the final unaired season of snowpiercer!

Please tell me you know the difference between “formally” and “formerly”…

• Trivia The Starfleet vessels seen in the first season, including the Discovery, the Shenzou and the redesigned Enterprise, were all designed by production artist John Eaves. Eaves' work with Star Trek spans three decades. Probably his most notable contribution was the design of the Enterprise-E for Star Trek: First Contact (1996) .
• Goofs With Michael being the adoptive sister of Spock, the series has many flashbacks to their childhood and upbringing on Vulcan. Spock's Vulcan half-brother, Sybok, does not appear nor is mention during these scenes. In Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) , Spock says that he and Sybok grew up together. However, since it's never stated when Sybok joined Sarek's home - only that he did so following his mother's death - or when he was exiled from the family, it's not impossible Sybok moved in after Burnham, and left before she graduated (the two extremes of the flashbacks). Also, since Sybok was never mentioned before Star Trek V, it seems reasonable the family never spoke of him again after his estrangement.

What does prodigy's netflix renewal mean for star trek's future.

Prodigy has been saved by Netflix, but what does this new deal mean for Star Trek's future, and does it improve Legacy's chances on Paramount+?

• Star Trek: Prodigy being picked up by Netflix raises questions about the franchise's streaming future and the decision to sell off shows to rival streamers.
• The Netflix deal means that fans will have to switch between streaming services, but it also expands the audience for Prodigy and could lead to more viewers seeking out other Star Trek content.
• The possibility of Netflix buying more Star Trek shows exists if Paramount cancels another show mid-production.

The news that Star Trek: Prodigy has been picked up by Netflix raises some interesting questions about the streaming future of the Star Trek franchise. Following a passionate fan campaign, Netflix was announced as the new home for the animated Star Trek series after it was unceremoniously dropped from Paramount+. The cancelation of Prodigy was a bizarre move by Paramount, which made a mockery of their promise to be the home of all things Star Trek . With 24 episodes in various stages of production, Prodigy could have easily filled the gaps in their 2024 Star Trek schedules caused by the WGA strike, and the ongoing industrial action by SAG-AFTRA.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 is set to start streaming on Netflix in early 2024, continuing the story of Dal R'El (Brett Gray) and his crew of young Starfleet hopefuls. It's already been revealed that Star Trek: Voyager 's EMH, the Doctor (Robert Picardo) will appear in the new series, alongside returning legacy characters like Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran). Even more exciting for fans of Star Trek: Voyager was the news that Prodigy season 2's hero ship will be the USS Voyager-A. With Prodigy season 2 now secured, attention will predictably turn to what this Netflix deal means for the wider Star Trek franchise.

Why Netflix Is The Best New Home For Star Trek: Prodigy

What prodigy's netflix deal means for star trek's future.

The most immediate result of Star Trek: Prodigy 's Netflix deal is that fans will now have to switch between streaming services. Internationally, this was the state of play before Paramount+ launched, with a variety of streaming services including Prime Video and Netflix hosting the likes of Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Discovery . After the huge success of Star Trek: Picard season 3 and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, it's very odd that Paramount have already begun selling off other Trek shows to their rival streamers. Not least because it feels like no time at all since Paramount+ based its marketing strategy on being the home of the Star Trek franchise.

Now that Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will stream on Netflix, the franchise is now targeting audiences outside those Paramount+ subscribers. Prodigy is both a great primer for younger audiences, and a thoroughly entertaining backdoor Star Trek: Voyager sequel for older viewers. It's therefore possible that Netflix subscribers who stumble upon Prodigy could be inspired to seek out more Star Trek from Paramount+. The biggest outstanding question about what the Netflix deal means for the future of Star Trek is whether the streaming service has an option to commission Prodigy season 3. If not, then Prodigy 's resurrection could be disappointingly short-lived.

Could Netflix Buy More Star Trek Shows?

If Paramount+ is no longer tied to their promise to be the home of Star Trek , then there is a small possibility that other shows could end up joining Star Trek: Prodigy on Netflix. The cancelation of Prodigy was so abrupt that there was an uncomfortable feeling that no Star Trek show was truly safe on Paramount+. Mike McMahan has stated that Star Trek: Lower Decks ' future is uncertain beyond season 5. As the Prodigy debacle has proved, the confirmation of a Lower Decks season 5 isn't necessarily a cast-iron guarantee for that fifth season to start streaming on Paramount+.

Should the unthinkable happen, Mike McMahan and the Lower Deckers could take some comfort from the good news about Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. It seems that the only way Netflix would buy more Star Trek shows is if Paramount were to cancel another show mid-production. Given that audiences and industry commentators are wise to this cost-cutting loophole, it seems likely that the studios may be more wary about future high-profile cancelations. However, if the hypothetical worst was to happen and Paramount+ pulled Star Trek: Lower Decks before or after season 5, it's fair to say that the fans would rally behind it like they did with Prodigy , making it an appealing prospect to Netflix.

How Does Saving Prodigy Affect Star Trek: Legacy?

Alongside the campaign to save Star Trek: Prodigy , fans have been petitioning Paramount+ to make Star Trek: Legacy . If the Prodigy petition helped to prove to Netflix that there was a demonstrable audience for the Star Trek show, then surely the Legacy petition could do something similar. However, making Terry Matalas' proposed Star Trek: Picard spinoff is a more complicated proposition for a number of reasons. While Prodigy showrunners Dan and Kevin Hageman were able to take the petition to Netflix, they also had 24 episodes in various states of readiness. Terry Matalas' Legacy doesn't have this luxury, nor do Netflix has the power to commission a new Star Trek show.

Only Alex Kurtzman and Paramount+ have the power to greenlight Star Trek: Legacy and as the streamers are tightening their belts it will be harder to justify a new show. Star Trek: Prodigy was a unique case because production was allowed to continue after its cancelation. Legacy is a different proposition, but the positive response to the Prodigy petition should give Terry Matalas and his potential cast some hope. As with Star Trek: Prodigy , the Legacy petition has shown the appetite for the Star Trek: Picard spinoff. Hopefully this demonstrable audience will be enough to convince Paramount to continue the story of Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) into Star Trek 's 25th century.

Share All sharing options for: New Star Trek, Netflix reality shows, Daryl’s Walking Dead spinoff, and more TV to watch this week

No one should have to go too long without new Star Trek, and thankfully Paramount agrees: A month after Strange New Worlds wrapped up season 2 , Star Trek: Lower Decks is back with its fourth season to bring some wacky fun to the Federation (which, the rest of the Star Trek universe aside, the Federation could sorely use; they can get a bit self-serious).

But that’s not the only big new show coming back: This week sees seasons of two big spinoffs. One at its beginning, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon , on AMC Plus, follows (get ready for this) Daryl Dixon after the events of The Walking Dead . There is the promise of one interesting question: How in the heck did he get all the way to Paris?

On the other side of the spinoff coin is Selling the OC , a branch of the Selling Sunset universe that tracks the real estate office to a very far away minorly far away, Los Angeles traffic permitting, locale.

But this week isn’t all new premieres; there’s also a few big finales coming down, like The Afterparty and What We Do in the Shadows . Here are all the significant TV premieres and finales this week:

New shows on Netflix

Selling the oc.

Genre: Reality show (lavish business edition) Release date: Sept. 8, with all episodes Showrunner/creator: Adam DiVello Cast: Jason Oppenheim, Alex Hall, Alexandra Jarvis, Alexandra Rose, and more

The second spinoff to the ever-popular Selling Sunset, Selling the OC does virtually the same thing in a (slightly) different locale. The show follows realtors at a high-end brokerage firm, Oppenheim Group, in the Orange County, California area as they try to sell opulent properties and navigate their complicated lives. Reality show drama with home renovation reality show charms: the dream!

New shows on Disney Plus

I am groot season 2.

Genre: Groot [ Ed. note: MCU mischief shorts] Release date: Sept. 6, with 5 episodes Showrunner/creator: Kirsten Lepore Cast: Vin Diesel, Jeffrey Wright

Groot, the adorable tree alien from the Guardians of the Galaxy, is back with another set of his own shorts, each one focused on his gentle whims and whimsy. Titles include “Are you my Groot?” and “Groot’s Sweet Treat,” which point to I am Groot season 2 being fairly easy viewing for the MCU fan in your life.

New shows on Paramount Plus

Lower decks season 4.

Genre: Animated Star Trek satire Release date: Sept. 7, with two episodes Showrunner/creator: Mike McMahan Cast: Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells, Eugene Cordero, and more

Strange New Worlds is over, and Lower Decks is here to fill the Vulcan salute-shaped hole in your heart while you wait for season 3. Season 4 of the animated hit promises to kick off with a bang: an episode called “Twovix” where “The Cerritos ensigns must assist a caretaker on the voyage of a historically significant starship.”

New shows on Apple TV Plus

The changeling.

Genre: Magical realism Release date: Sept. 8, with three episodes Showrunner/creator: Kelly Marcel Cast: LaKeith Stanfield, Adina Porter, Clark Backo, Samuel T. Herring, and more

Apple TV Plus’ latest show is based on the Victor LaValle novel of the same name, following Apollo (Stanfield) whose fairy tale romance turns bleak when his love Emmy (Backo) disappears without a trace after the birth of their child. He finds himself on a death defying, fantastical and, at times, horrific journey through a side of the world he had no idea about — and, with a pilot directed by Melina Matsoukas ( Queen & Slim ), a lush and gorgeous one at that.

The Afterparty season 2 finale

Genre: Whodunnit Release date: Sept. 7, with one episode Showrunner/creator: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller Cast: Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Zach Woods, Ken Jeong, John Cho, and more

It’s finally here, the final episode of season 2 of The Afterparty , and the final reveal of Grace’s wedding weekend (and its accompanying murder) is about to come into the open. Do you know who did it yet?

New shows on Hulu

What we do in the shadows season 5 finale.

Genre: Vampire nonsense Release date: Sept. 7, with one episode Showrunner/creator: Paul Simms Cast: Natasia Demetriou, Matt Barry, Harvey Guillén, Mark Proksch, Kayvan Novak, and more

Everyone’s favorite vampire hangs are heading back to their coffins, with season 5 of the vampire comedy wrapping up for the year. After all the change of this year (particularly for Guillén’s Guillermo), the ominous final episode title “Exit Interview” seems... uh potentially dangerous. Then again, how much danger are these immortal beings ever really in?

New shows on AMC Plus

The walking dead: daryl dixon.

Genre: Zombie drama (in Europe) Release date: Sept. 10, with one episode Showrunner/creator: David Zabel Cast: Norman Reedus, Clémence Poésy, Adam Nagaitis, Anne Charrier, Eriq Ebouaney, and more

Where has Daryl Dixon been since the finale of The Walking Dead ? He’s been in France — or, at least, that’s where he wakes up at the start of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon spinoff. He’s not sure how he got there either, and the six-episode show will track how he figures out what he’s doing there, how to get home, and what Europe’s been up to since this whole zombie apocalypse thing started.

Ride with Norman Reedus season 6

Genre: Celebrity travelogue Release date: Sept. 10, with one episode Showrunner/creator: Norman Reedus Cast: Norman Reedus, Keanu Reeves, Adri Law, Josh Holloway, and Johnny Knoxville.

Where has Norman Reedus been since before the finale of The Walking Dead ? Filming his travel show Ride with Norman Reedus , where he and a guest ride motorcycles around different locales around the world. Season 6 sees sights and sounds in places like Utah, Italy, Portugal, and more.

'Star Trek: Discovery' season 5 episode 4 uses time travel to remember the past 5 seasons

It's pretty obvious watching this episode that the cast and crew, at the very least, strongly suspected that this was going to be the last season of "Discovery" when it was written.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Star Trek: Discovery" season 5, episode 4

With the news that "Star Trek: Lower Decks" is ending after its current season, that really only leaves "Strange New Worlds" as the last remaining Nu-Trek series currently airing on television. 

And, a word to the wise: If you're a die-hard fan of " Discovery ," make sure you have your own physical media, 'cause no one likes being at the mercy of whatever an overpaid television executive thinks. You're welcome. Moreover, after this final season of "Discovery," we're going to have until wait until next year for the next season of " Strange New Worlds ." It's all starting to feel a bit like "Game of Thrones" all over again.

Episode four, entitled "Face the Strange," is without a doubt the best entry so far in the fifth season, and one can't help but wonder after watching exactly when the cast and production crew were first informed that this would be the last season, because it was definitely before this episode was actually written. The reason? It is, for all intents and purposes, a 60-minute, time-travel-powered, postscript-style reminiscence of all elements of all five seasons — or as much as you can cram into an hour — and what a rollercoaster ride it's been.

So when Alex Kurtzman or Michelle Paradise or whoever it is that actually has authority in the writer's room entered said room, put down their grande iced sugar-free vanilla half-double decaffeinated half-caff latte with soy milk and a twist of lemon in their Paramount-branded 40oz Stanley Clean Slate Quencher H2.0 Flowstate™ Tumbler and announced, "Wouldn't it be great to revisit chapters from seasons one, two, three and four?" no doubt everyone cheered. "And how will this be possible?" asked Kurtzman, to which an eager-beaver intern no doubt excitedly thrust their hand up into the air and exclaimed, "Why, time travel , of course!"

"Quite right," replied Kurtzman (in our imaginations, at least), adding, "But it can be for one episode, so it has to be an isolated, self-contained form of time travel." Thus was conceived the "Time Bug," and with it came a ton of technobabble to precisely explain its parameters. Although quite why Zora didn't detect it was not addressed. Also, you know, transporters.

But this clever Time Bug, which can manipulate time in just about any way that's convenient for the writers to overcome any potential chronological complications — like life-changing paradoxes — came onboard the USS Discovery by way of that shifty Malinne "Moll" Ravel (Eve Harlow), who managed to infiltrate the Trill homeworld undetected, as we saw last week .

As a result, we get reminder glimpses of Michael Burnham's first coming aboard the USS Discovery way, way, way back in season one, complete with appropriate uniforms and everything. We get a fleeting reminder of the Red Angel and the battle with Control , naturally The Burn gets a mention, and there's even a not-very-subtle nod to the short-Trek " Calypso ." It's all a little bit like a Greatest Hits album that doesn't include any of the tracks that you actually liked, being played at 45 instead of 33. Remember vinyl?

Since it's now obvious that this season was written after the cancellation announcement had been made to the cast and crew, the single most important question is, Will the show benefit from that, or will it suffer? Are the remaining six episodes going to be a drawn-out epilogue, tied loosely together with a mostly lame plot? Or, will advance knowledge of the show's future actually serve the writers well, allowing them to produce something above and beyond the normal level of writing? 

There's even a very entertaining scene, in which 23rd-century Burnham must fight her 32nd-century self. Of course, the illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator fitted to the space bug prevents any changes from affecting the timeline, so you know, phew . 

Most of the original Discovery bridge reappear, as close to how they looked seven years ago as possible, and even Lt. Cmdr. Airiam (played by Sara Mitich in the first season and Hannah Cheesman in the second) makes a cameo, so that's nice. Also, we can really see as Sonequa Martin-Green flips between her two Burnhams just how effective that dreadlock hair piece that she wears through this season actually is. Half the show's budget probably went to that.

It's a fun filler episode, and, even if it doesn't advance the plot an inch, it does allow character development to take place, particularly between Burnham and Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie). Arguably the biggest surprise was that the writers were able to resist putting Captain Pike (Anson Mount) into this episode. 

The fifth and final season of "Star Trek: Discovery," and every other episode of every "Star Trek" show — with the exception of "Star Trek: Prodigy" — currently streams exclusively on Paramount Plus in the U.S., while "Prodigy" has found a new home on Netflix.  

Internationally, the shows are available on  Paramount Plus  in Australia, Latin America, the U.K. and South Korea, as well as on Pluto TV in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland on the Pluto TV Sci-Fi channel. They also stream on  Paramount Plus  in Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. In Canada, they air on Bell Media's CTV Sci-Fi Channel and stream on Crave.

“Our incredible cast, crew and artists have given you everything they have because they love the characters they play, they love the world we’ve built, and more than anything we all love love love Star Trek. We’re excited for the world to see our hilarious fifth season which we’re working on right now, and the good news is that all previous episodes will remain on Paramount+ so there is still so much to look forward to as we celebrate the Cerritos crew with a big send-off,” they added.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is an animated comedy series following the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos. The crew residing in the “lower decks” of the U.S.S. Cerritos includes the voices of Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells and Eugene Cordero; the bridge crew is voiced by Dawnn Lewis, Jerry O’Connell, Fred Tatasciore and Gillian Vigman.

The series is produced by CBS’ Eye Animation Productions, CBS Studios’ animation arm; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment. Executive producers include Alex Kurtzman, Mike McMahan, Aaron Baiers, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth. Titmouse serves as the animation studio for the series which streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Latin America and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

It stars Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia and Babs Olusanmokun, along with special guest stars Paul Wesley and Carol Kane. The series is produced by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, Jenny Lumet, Henry Alonso Myers, Aaron Baiers, Dana Horgan, Davy Perez, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers.

“On behalf of the cast and crew of Strange New Worlds, we are thrilled and grateful to continue our voyages together. We can’t wait for you to join us and the crew of the Enterprise on another season of exploration and adventure,” said Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers and Alex Kurtzman in a statement.

The expanded world of Star Trek on Paramount+ also includes the fifth and final season of Star Trek : Discovery, currently airing; the original film Star Trek : Section 31 starring Michelle Yeoh, which recently wrapped production; and the new original series Star Trek : Starfleet Academy, slated to begin production later this year.

Bill Maher Applauds William Shatner For Controversial ‘Star Trek’ Interracial Kiss

Patrick stewart was asked to wear a wig at his ‘star trek’ audition — a wig that flew by itself from heathrow to lax, tom hardy “never said ‘good morning'” or “good night” while filming ‘star trek: nemesis,’ says patrick stewart, stream it or skip it: ‘star trek: lower decks’ season 4 on paramount+, featuring the continuing (mis)adventures of starfleet’s proudest platoon members.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for Season 4 at Paramount+ , despite currently being in production on its third season.

On the other hand, it has been revealed that the animated comedy series Star Trek: Lower Decks , will end with Season 5 on the streaming platform. The final season will premiere this fall.

Strange New Worlds centers around Capt. Christopher Pike ( Anson Mount ) is the USS Enterprise commander at this point in the Star Trek universe. He is joined by younger versions of several legacy characters, including Spock ( Ethan Peck ), Uhura ( Celia Rose Gooding ), and Kirk ( Paul Wesley ).

It debuted in 2022 and had an epic second season that included a musical episode and a crossover episode with Lower Decks , helping it climb aboard Nielsen’s chart of the 10 most-watched streaming original series over multiple weeks.

“On behalf of the cast and crew of ‘Strange New Worlds,’ we are thrilled and grateful to continue our voyages together,” said executive producers and showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers, along with executive producer Alex Kurtzman in a statement according to Variety . “We can’t wait for you to join us and the crew of the Enterprise on another season of exploration and adventure.”

Lower Decks is set in the years following the feature film Star Trek: Nemesis and centers around the junior officers of the USS Cerritos: Beckett Mariner ( Tawny Newsome ), Brad Boimler ( Jack Quaid ), D’Vana Tendi ( Noël Wells ) and Sam Rutherford ( Eugene Cordero ).

The series also featured voice cameos from several Star Trek alumni including George Takei , Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, John de Lancie, Will Wheaton, Armin Shimerman, Nana Visitor, and Robert Duncan McNeill.

Although some aspects of the storyline make it appropriate to conclude the show, Kurtzman and executive producer and showrunner Mike McMahan are leaving the hull open for future iterations.

“We remain hopeful that even beyond Season 5, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford, and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures,” they said in a message to fans. “While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we’ve spent making this show has been a dream come true.”

Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is slated to premiere in 2025.

Scotty Will Return in Season 3 of 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds'

Martin Quinn's version of the character first appeared in season 2's finale.

The Big Picture

• Martin Quinn to bring authentic Scottish flair as Montgomery Scott on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
• Quinn adds a new perspective to the character previously played by actors from Canada and England.
• Star Trek: Strange New Worlds continues to explore the adventures of the USS Enterprise under Captain Pike.

A classic member of the Enterprise crew will return for the third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds . After debuting in the final episode of the show's second season , Martin Quinn will stay on board as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the upcoming season of Paramount+'s newest Star Trek series. As reported by BBC Scotland in an interview with Quinn, the character will recur on Strange New World 's third season, which is currently filming in Toronto, Ontario.

Quinn is the first-ever Scot to play the character, who was previously played by a Canadian ( James Doohan ) and an Englishman ( Simon Pegg ), and the interview notes that he's adding authenticity to the character, making sure that the show's writers use authentic Scottish slang: "They let me put in the word 'baw-heid' instead of 'turnip-heid'. Maybe they think all Scottish people are farmers? But they were very gracious about it." Quinn is from the town of Paisley; he has previously appeared on episodes of Limmy's Show , Annika , and Derry Girls .

Who is Montgomery Scott?

Played by Doohan in Star Trek: The Original Series , Scott is the ever-capable head engineer of the USS Enterprise , famed for his ability to solve catastrophic problems in short periods of time. After the series went off the air, Doohan reprised the role in Star Trek: The Animated Series and in all six of the feature films starring the series' original cast. He also returned for a cameo in Star Trek: Generations , attending the launch of the USS Enterprise-B , and guest-starred on the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics", where he is discovered by the Enterprise-D 's crew a century in the future, having been preserved in a transporter buffer.
