A kids focused show made in partnership with Nickelodeon, Star Trek Prodigy looks similar in aesthetic to Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Children will obviously gravitate to it, but so will Star Trek fans of all ages. It stars Kate Mulgrew, reprising her role as Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager and follows a crew of young aliens who discover an abandoned Starfleet ship.

It's in the safe hands of Kevin and Dan Hageman, who are best known for their work on the surprisingly solid Ninjago series, and executive produced by Star Trek super producer Alex Kurtzman.

The first episode makes its debut on October 28, 2021 on Paramount+.
