ViacomCBS<\/em> has announced that Star Trek: Prodigy<\/em> will be premiering on Paramount+<\/em> this year. Prodigy<\/em> is the “first Star Trek<\/em> series for the kids and family audience.” After its run on Paramount+<\/em>, it will appear later on Nickelodeon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“In Prodigy,<\/em> six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered \u2013 a first in the history of the Star Trek<\/em> Franchise, but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.”<\/p>\n

“In three years, we\u2019ve expanded the Star Trek<\/em> Universe to new heights, creating five original series \u2013 each with its own unique storytelling and distinct cinematic feel,\u201d said Alex Kurtzman<\/strong>, Executive Producer Star Trek<\/em> Universe. \u201cWe’re so excited to partner with Dan <\/strong>and Kevin Hageman<\/strong> and the team at Nickelodeon<\/em> for Star Trek: Prodigy<\/em> as we bring Trek to a new generation of younger fans with an animated series as rich in character and scope as our live action shows. I’m thrilled audiences of all ages now have instant access to the full Trek library, classic and new original series, on our new home at Paramount+<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“When Star Trek: Discovery<\/em> first premiered, we knew we had the beginning of something special,” said Julie McNamara<\/strong>, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming, Paramount+<\/em>. “Over three years later, we are thrilled that Paramount+<\/em> will serve as the streaming home of the Star Trek<\/em> Universe, with an unparalleled existing and expanding library of Trek content. The upcoming addition of Star Trek: Prodigy<\/em> to Paramount+<\/em> means subscribers now have a Trek series for every member of the family \u2013 including kids. We are excited to bring this next chapter to a new generation of Trek fans alongside the creative masterminds behind Secret Hideout<\/em> and Nickelodeon<\/em>, as well as the talented Kevin<\/strong> and Dan Hageman<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

“Debuting Prodigy <\/em>on Paramount+<\/em> alongside the complete Star Trek<\/em> universe points to our strategy of growing Nickelodeon<\/em>‘s reach by expanding our top franchises and diving deeper into their worlds, and their characters and stories,” said Ramsey Naito<\/strong>, President, Nickelodeon Animation<\/em>. “And on top of having great characters and absolutely gorgeous animation, Prodigy<\/em> shows how the ViacomCBS<\/em> brands can come together to make great, compelling content that appeals to both new audiences and long-time super fans. We’re incredibly proud of this series and we’re looking forward to building its audience across the Paramount+<\/em> and Nickelodeon<\/em> platforms.”<\/p>\n
