They tell stories the way we tell stories in live action: serialized, turning over cards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it will be a great way for fans to introduce the franchise to their kids, and for new fans to be formed, because it&#8217;s such a big franchise, [it can be hard] to get into as a kid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kadin added that fans can expect the animated <em>Nickelodeon Star Trek<\/em> show to have continuing story lines.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t expect the new Trek series to air in 2021. It will take &#8220;longer,&#8221; said Kadin. &#8220;I was surprised! As someone who makes big, live-action shows, I heard how long it was going to take and I was like, &#8216;What?&#8217; Because it&#8217;s 3D animation, so just takes that much longer.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TrekCore was at New York Comic Con last weekend, and was able to speak with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51619,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9823],"tags":[9384],"class_list":["post-51618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-startrekprodigy","tag-nycc"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false],"large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-slider-full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-featured":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AnimatedNickTrek100819HagemanBros.jpg",580,225,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/startrekprodigy\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: Prodigy<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: Prodigy","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51618"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51620,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51618\/revisions\/51620"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
