Star Trek: Prodigy‘s creators and showrunners, Kevin and Dan Hageman, hint at how the ending of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 sets up a “great little promise” of season 3. Netflix premiered Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 on Christmas Day, and the beloved animated series quickly landed in the Top 10 of kids shows (or topped out at number one) in multiple countries like the USA, UK, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and France. As hoped for, Netflix’s global audience is discovering and enjoying Star Trek: Prodigy, which bodes very well for season 2’s upcoming premiere later in 2024.
Kevin and Dan Hageman joined Virtual Trek Con’s Star Trek and Chill podcast to celebrate Star Trek: Prodigy‘s Netflix success with hosts Ryan T. Husk, Malissa Longo, Ann Marie Segal, Jenny R. Johnson, Katie Nickolaou, and Charlynn Schmiedt. The Hageman brothers were asked about their Star Trek: Prodigy season 3 hopes, and Kevin and Dan discussed how the end of season 2 wraps up the first two seasons of Star Trek: Prodigy while setting up a possible season 3, as well as the realities of when Star Trek: Prodigy season 3 could happen. Check out the Hagemans’ quotes and watch the video below:
Dan Hageman: The end of season 1 we think is great. End of season 2 is equally great. And it has this place where it feels like it wraps up…
Kevin Hageman: Not just wraps up season 2, but season 2 is like the second half of season 1.
Dan Hageman: It really wraps everything you want out of seasons 1 and 2, but it really opens the door to what season 3 potentially could be. And whether that hits now, or in five years, or whenever the time is right, it’ll feel natural, which I’m really happy about.
Kevin Hageman: Dan saying worst case scenario we never get picked up again, there’s no more Star Trek: Prodigy ever, we feel like the end of season 2 is a really beautiful closing. It’ll feel complete. But there’s still… what we do is there’s a great little promise of something.
Dan Hageman: If we get the call [saying] ‘We want season 3’, because we’re animation, it’s gonna take minimum two years. More likely three.
