The future “Star Trek: Prodigy” has been solidified. Paramount+ has handed out a speedy renewal for the animated kids show that was originally developed for Nickelodeon. The series had what the streamer is calling the top-performing premiere day out of any originally animated kids series on the platform.

“Prodigy“ was the brainchild of “Star Trek” captain Alex Kurtzman, whose intention with the series was to bring in new fans of the franchise at a young age while creating content that appeals to everyone in the family. “Prodigy” marks the return of Kate Mulgrew as Kathryn Janeway in a bid to appeal to “Trekkie” parents who may be watching the show with their children.

New episodes of “Prodigy” will continue to stream weekly through November 18. The series returns on January 6 with the second half of season one. The 10-episode second part of season one will debut later next year at a date to be determined.
