It’s hard to believe it’s already been over six months sinceStar Trek: Prodigycame to a satisfying mid-season conclusion, though it certainly left Trekkies anxious about where things were headed for the intrepid crew of theU.S.S. Protostar. In addition to telling us when the delightful animated series will be returning next month, Paramount+ provided a new clip for the upcoming ten-episode arc as part of theStar TrekDaycelebrations this year.
Season 1 introduced audiences to a new—and much younger crew—in the form of Dal (Brett Gray), Gwyn (Ella Purnell), Rok-Tahk (Rylee Alazraqui), Jankom Pog (Jason Mantazoukas), Zero (Angus Imrie), and Murf (Dee Bradley Baker) as they set off on a crash-course mission to learn what it means to be a crew. They weren’t alone, as theProtostarcame equipped withStar Trek: Voyager’s Captain-turned hologram Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), who offered up sage wisdom and snarky advice as she guided them on a coming-of-age journey to self-discovery. Mulgrew wasn’t the only returning voice fromVoyager, as theProtostarwas previously piloted by none other than Chakotay, whoRobeter Beltranreturned to voice. With some of the revelations made at the end of the mid-season finale—it seems likely that the beloved character will return as the crew of theProtostarcontinue to make their way through the galaxy at large.
The new clip entitled “Murf’s Metamurfosis” sees the return of a familiar face from another belovedStar Trekseries.Star Trek: Prodigywill also seeBilly Campbellreturning to voice hisStar Trek: Next Generationcharacter Thadiun Okona, the roguish space captain who is constantly outrunning self-made trouble.
