Just when you thought the dust had finally settled on Star Trek: Prodigy, there’s somehow more bad news for the beleaguered animated series — as we learned this week that its time at Netflix is coming to an end.
 
In case you’ve forgotten Prodigy’s challenges, the series was unexpectedly cancelled and removed from Paramount+ back in June 2023, and spent six months in limbo until it found a new home at Netflix on December 2023; the complete second season of Prodigy then debuted on Netflix in July 2024 in a single-day drop.
 

 
Earlier this week, streaming news blog What’s On Netflix reported that the series was scheduled to leave Netflix’s service as soon as next month. On May 14, Prodigy creators Kevin and Dan Hageman confirmed the show’s departure on social media: Season 1 will leave Netflix on June 24, and Season 2 will leave on December 31.

While Prodigy thankfully remains available on Blu-ray, DVD, and on for-purchase digital sources like AppleTV+ and Fandango at Home, in truth the only way the show will every truly find additional viewership is through convenient streaming availability.

Meanwhile, the tacit assumption that Prodigy has officially concluded its run seems to be accurate, as Paramount Global Content Distribution refers to Season 2 as the show’s “Final Season” in its publicity material.

CBS Studios has not yet responded to a request for comment, and no other streamer expressed public interest in obtaining rights to the series (as of this writing). Even if a new home for Prodigy has been lined up, however, that news would likely not be announced until the end of Netflix’s tenure.

In the meantime, we recommend you pick up a copy of the series on Blu-ray (Season 1, Pt. 1 · Season 1, Pt. 2 · Season 2) and preserve Star Trek: Prodigy in your personal collection.
