Kate Mulgrew urges Star Trek fans to watch Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 so that Netflix orders more seasons. Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 premieres Monday, July 1st, with all 20 episodes releasing on Netflix on the same day. After Paramount+ canceled Star Trek: Prodigy a year ago, devoted fans rallied to find the beloved all-ages animated series a new streaming home. Netflix picked up Star Trek: Prodigy seasons 1 and 2, with the option for more seasons.
On her Instagram, Kate Mulgrew (@thekatemulgrew), who “loves” voicing Admiral Kathryn Janeway and Hologram Janeway in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, urges fans to “watch, stream, and post on social media” to show Netflix the Star Trek audience backs the series en masse. Mulgrew adds “with your continued support, it is my hope that we will have more seasons to tell these stories.
Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 Is Pivotal For Admiral Janeway
Janeway must find Chakotay
Star Trek: Prodigy naturally centers on the ragtag former crew of the USS Protostar led by Dal R’El (Brett Gray) and Gwyndala (Ella Purnell), but Prodigy season 2 is also pivotal for Admiral Janeway. Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 is Janeway’s last chance to rescue Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) from a dark alternate timeline 52 years in the future. Janeway feels immense guilt about not being able to save Chakotay this far, and the Admiral has equipped the new USS Voyager-A with every means possible to bring Chakotay home. Still, success is not guaranteed.
As a sequel to Star Trek: Voyager, many longtime fans hope that Star Trek: Prodigy can do what the 1990s show did not and romantically pair Janeway and Chakotay, perhaps even giving them a happily ever after. While it’s unclear how much Star Trek: Prodigy, an animated series aimed at younger audiences, will delve into the adult romance between Janeway and Chakotay, their feelings for each other are undeniable, and form the crux of why Janeway must rescue her former Number One. As Kate Mulgrew says, fans streaming, watching, and posting about Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 on social media will urge Netflix to greenlight season 3, and maybe more.
