Just over halfway through Netflix's Geeked Week 2023 came the news that fans of Star Trek: Prodigy had been waiting for: the first season of the acclaimed animated series will drop on Christmas Day.
This was undoubtedly welcome news to many fans of the show, who were stunned in August when Paramount announced the show was being canceled by the network, even though a second season had been greenlit and was nearing the end of production. Shortly after that announcement, the show was pulled from the Paramount+ streaming service.
After a huge outpouring of support from fans, show producers vowed to finish their work and find a new home for the second season. Finally, in October, it was announced that the show was moving to Netflix, but exact release dates were not announced.
