The economic realities of the streaming wars have hit the final frontier, hard. For fans of the animated children’s show Star Trek: Prodigy, the news that the Nickelodeon series will be yanked from Paramount+ and that Season 2 will also not air on Paramount+ was a shocker. For those in the entertainment industry, Prodigy’s unceremonious cancellation was just one more example of the increasingly unsustainable streaming economy. Just like Warner Bros and Disney, Paramount cut Prodigy and several other shows to save money and receive tax breaks. But, the future of Prodigy might be brighter than it seems and its cancellation could, maybe, be temporary.
