Star Trek: Prodigy didn’t make a significant impact when it did land. It missed the global weekly charts, and looking at the Netflix Engagement Reports, it didn’t catch fire. Per that report, covering viewing data from 2023 through 2024, the series picked up the equivalent of 3.4M views in total throughout that two-year period. For comparison, Blue Eye Samurai, which did get a rare animation renewal, picked up 20.5M views in the same period.
That, combined with the fact that the show isn’t even Netflix’s own property and that the original team behind it had long since disbanded, made its chances of renewal incredibly slim. With the shows set to depart in the coming months, Netflix has quietly ruled out any season 3 renewal chances.
Our understanding is that the series will be leaving Netflix in two parts, with each season leaving 18 months after they were initially licensed. That means at the moment, the two seasons will be leaving on the following timeline:
- Season 1 will depart Netflix on June 24th, 2025
- Season 2 will depart Netflix on January 1st, 2026
Of course, Netflix and Paramount could arrange to renew the license, and we’ll keep you posted if that happens. As it stands, though, your time to watch both seasons is running out.
Could you expand on that, ideally with pictures of what you're talking about? L'Rell's outfit, for example, hardly screams "Africa" to me.
"Exotic" meaning what? Which race is he mimicking?
I know very little about the Voodoo religion, so could you please tell me which of its rituals were incorporated into the show?
And this is a known racist trope about Africans (since you seem to have settled on African, or at least "Black" stereotypes)? Because otherwise, you seem to be saying it's a racist depiction of...a bunch of different races, based on the fact that the characters do things that humans also do sometimes.
