Paramount has unveiled the character names and voice actors who will be appearing alongside Captain Janeway in Star Trek: Prodigy. The Paramount+ original series will see a host of young actors joining the returning Kate Mulgrew later in 2021.
Alongside the reveal the studio has also released a number of new stills featuring several of the series leads. It seems that Prodigy will feature a mix of new and classic aliens from across the Trek franchise. The series’ Delta Quadrant setting will certainly allow for the creative freedom to introduce some brand new species in to the mix.
Here are the brand new character descriptions of the young alien crew, scroll down to check out the brand new images.
- Rylee Alazraqui (Home Economics) as “Rok-Tahk,” a Brikar and an unusually bright eight-year-old girl. Rok is a bit shy, but not when it comes to her love for animals;
- Brett Gray (On My Block) as “Dal,” 17 years old and an unknown species, he fancies himself a maverick, who even in the toughest times, holds strong onto his unwavering hope;
- Angus Imrie (The Crown) as “Zero,” who is a Medusan: a noncorporeal, genderless, energy-based lifeform. Since others would go mad at the sight of their true self, Zero wears a containment suit they made themselves to protect others;
- Jason Mantzoukas (Infinite) as “Jankom Pog,” a 16-year-old Tellarite. Tellarites are known to relish an argument, and Jankom is no different. Regardless of opinion, he will always play ‘devil’s advocate’ for the sake of hearing all sides;
- Ella Purnell (Army of the Dead) as “Gwyn,” a 17-year-old Vau N’Akat who was raised on her father’s bleak mining planet and grew up dreaming to explore the stars;
- Dee Bradley Baker (SpongeBob SquarePants) as “Murf,” whose age and species is unknown but who is an endearing, indestructible blob with curiously good timing and an insatiable appetite for ship parts.
