            The cancellation was announced just before the end of the last quarter along with a couple of other shows. The justification was better alignment of their core streaming strategy but it wasn’t convincing.

            It doesn’t make a lot of sense given that Paramount+ branded itself as the home of all Star Trek and the show was the second most in-demand original animated show on the streamer in 2022 after Lower Decks.

            That said, the show was originally intended to be shown on Nickelodeon which has been in a viewership free fall since 2017 as kids have moved away from watching cable. I have to wonder then if the decision on Prodigy may have been more of a decision about extracting Nickelodeon from its share of the expenses.

            In any event, buying the show and showing support is a key way to keep building the case for it to find a home on another streamer. There’s also a change.org petition that’s getting close to 35k signatures now.

        I’m always stunned to hear from Star Trek fans who haven’t tried any of the animated shows. They may not be to everyone’s taste - but…not to even give them a try?

        I understand that there’s a real bias among some against animation as a media form, but even TAS rose above the norms for American Saturday morning cartoons to get the franchise’s only series Emmy.

        Anyhow, I keep finding myself encouraging fans to at least give each of the three animated series a run through. Even the two intended for younger audiences - TAS and Prodigy - are really designed to appeal to all ages.

        Especially now, with Star Trek Prodigy needing to find a new home, it’s all the more important to give them the support of views. #SaveStarTrekProdigy!

          I started with DISCO, then PIC, then SNW. I don’t think there’s any particular reason I haven’t watched TAS, Lower Decks or Prodigy🤔
