A Star Trek show that's a favorite for many fans might be about to get lost in space with news that the family-friendly animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy, is being taken off Netflix. The animated series that initially began on Paramount was cancelled after one season, before it got caught in the tractor beam of the big red N. Now it's been revealed that the show could be at risk of going off the air again, not because of a dip in viewership, but due to expiring rights issues.
In a joint post from the show's creators, Dan and Kevin Hageman, on X, the heads of Star Trek: Prodigy said, "While the future removal of #StarTrekProdigy on Netflix is disconcerting, it has little to do with lack of viewership or anything nefarious. We’ve come to learn the license for S1 is up June 24, and S2 Dec 31. We hold out hope someone will pick it up. The next generation of Trek fans deserves it."
