Summary Star Trek: Prodigy was unexpectedly canceled by Paramount+, but found new life on Netflix. On Friday, June 23, 2023, Paramount+ announced the cancelation of four shows: Star Trek: Prodigy, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, The Game, and Queen of the Universe. A Paramount+ spokesman said those series, "have completed their runs on Paramount+ and will not be returning to the service.
Following the adventures of Dal R'El and his misfit crew on the USS Protostar, Star Trek: Prodigy has something for everyone. The charming young characters and their adventures appeal to younger audiences, while the many connections and shout-outs to previous Star Trek series appeal to longtime fans. Not only does Prodigy serve as a good entry point to the Star Trek franchise, but it also looks beautiful and tells a compelling story on its own.
According to Variety, the decision to cancel Star Trek: Prodigy was "data-driven, though Paramount did not share any specific data that highlighted why these shows are being canceled and removed." The move, however, reflects the deleterious changes across the streaming industry, as services like Max, Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu have deleted existing shows and content as cost-cutting measures and for tax write-offs.
