Comic Con 2021 — Star Trek Prodigy First Trailer, Janeway Returns

We have had previews and teases during the past year, of what Prodigy wants to bring to the Star Trek franchise, but now we finally get a glimpse of it in motion: teasing the future of Star Trek can be found in a few bright young things … with a little help from a familiar face.

Revealed at Paramount + Trek-panel tacular San Diego Comic-Con @ Home, offering animated glimpses of the early days of Prodigy and the second season of Star Trek: Lower Bridges, the teaser introduces us to the unlikely alien heroes of the series, who discover the abandoned experimental ship USS Protostar in the Delta Quadrant and decide to take it as their own way of exploring the stars. But when the ship’s training hologram, a replica of iconic Traveler Captain Kathryn Janeway (expressed by the return of Kate Mulgrew) is activated, our young deck crew find themselves shaped by the ideals of Starfleet as they learn to work together not only to survive by owning their own ship, but by using it to see the wonders and dangers among the stars. Watch the trailer below: International viewers can see here.

Along with Mulgrew’s return as one of the Trekthe best captains of (albeit in holographic form), Star Trek: Prodigy stars Brett Gray, Ella Purnell, Rylee Alazraqui, Dee Bradley Baker, Angus Imrie and Jason Mantzoukas as teenage alien protagonists: Dal (of an unknown species), Gwyn (a new-Trek Wow N’Kat), Rok-Tahk (a Brikar from TNG novels), Murf (an unknown blob-like being), Zero (a non-binary Medusan), and Jankom Pog (a Tellarite), respectively. The series, which was originally slated to debut on Nickelodeon, will now air later this fall on Paramount +, before heading to the Kids Network after Prodigy ends on streaming.
