Netflix Picking Up Star Trek: Prodigy Was A Smart Move
The next smart move by Netflix would be greenlighting Prodigy season 3
Along with Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 achieving a 100% Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score, the animated series landed in Netflix’s top 10 around the world, in countries such as Germany, France, Switzerland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. It certainly appears Netflix made a wise decision by picking up Star Trek: Prodigy following the beloved show’s abrupt cancelation by Paramount+. The rabid fan campaign that helped save Star Trek: Prodigy is doing its part by binging season 2 all over the world.
It’s clear from how Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 ends that there is much more story to tell.
Netflix would make another wise decision by greenlighting Star Trek: Prodigy season 3. Of course, Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 must meet the streamer’s internal metrics of success in order to get a renewal, but Star Trek: Prodigy is getting some of the most positive reactions for a Star Trek series since the franchise relaunched in the streaming era with Star Trek: Discovery. It’s clear from how Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 ends that there is much more story to tell, and hopefully Star Trek: Prodigy will fly on Netflix for more seasons to come.
