Fans outside of North America have been waiting for their chance to catch up on Star Trek: Prodigy, the new animated series that launched in the United States and Canada this past October — and it seems like that opportunity is right around the corner.

Nickelodeon held an ‘orange carpet’ premiere event late last week ahead of their promotional campaign — which is expected to roll out across international regions shortly — attended by series creators Kevin and Dan Hageman, producer/director Ben Hibon, and stars Kate Mulgrew (Janeway), Angus Imrie (Zero), and Ella Purnell (Gwyn).

Nickelodeon news blog NickAlive! published a copy of the press release from the studio’s France press office, where Star Trek: Prodigy has been announced to debut in that country on April 18; a handy character poster was also included in the France announcement, sharing the details of the six kid crewmembers.

NickAlive! has also been watching the international press scene for further debuts, where they’ve noted reports of the series coming April 18 to Spain, Portugal and Wallonia (Belgium), plus Central and Eastern Europe and Africa too.

A specific date for release in the United Kingdom and Ireland has not been announced yet — we’ve reached out to Nickelodeon for comment but have not heard back as of this writing — but an official Star Trek: Prodigy portal on Nick UK’s website recently went live; it includes some promotional clips from the “Lost and Found” series premiere ending with a “Coming This April” tag.

(As soon as we have confirmation of the Nick UK premiere date, we’ll update this post.)

We’re happy that those of you who haven’t been able to get Prodigy in your local region are going to have your opportunity to catch up this spring — hopefully additional international availability will follow soon!
