Whilst fans in the US are deep in the mid-season hiatus for Star Trek: Prodigy, UK and international fans have been clamouring for news on when the series would finally debut.
The series, which rolled out via Paramount+ in the US, has been very quiet about when its first ten episodes would roll out internationally. But, thanks to listings on local Nickelodeon sites (and TrekMovie.com), we now know the series will make its UK debut in April.
April will also find the show arriving in France, Spain, and Portugal. It will also debut in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines in Asia. Nickelodeon will be airing the first 10 episodes from the first half of season one. The exact dates are yet to be confirmed.
Star Trek: Prodigy begins in deep space, where our six young heroes are detainees at a mining colony overseen by the mysterious Diviner. When assigned to work deep in the core of the colony, they discover the derelict Starfleet ship, the U.S.S. Protostar, hidden within the asteroid. This inexperienced crew launch a harrowing getaway aboard the starship with guidance from the ship’s holographic computer assistant, Janeway.
Together the escapees learn that the ship came from a far-off alliance of peaceful galactic explorers known as the Federation. They resolve to set a course for Starfleet, but the Diviner is hot on their trails. Their journey takes them on a wild adventure where they encounter strange new life and civilizations, learn about Starfleet’s ideals, and hope to find a better future for themselves on the far side of the galaxy.
Developed for TV by Kevin and Dan Hageman, Star Trek: Prodigy stars Brett Gray, Ella Purnell, Angus Imrie, Rylee Alazraqui, Dee Bradley Baker and Jason Mantzoukas. The series also marks the return of Kate Mulgrew as a holographic version of Captain Janeway.
