In between seasons, the acclaimed animated series Star Trek: Prodigy found a new home on Netflix after being dropped by Paramount+ in June 2023, with the show making its Netflix debut in time for Christmas. Set outside of the Star Trek franchise's usual Alpha Quadrant setting, Prodigy follows a group of young misfits who escape from a harsh planet on a stolen Starfleet vessel, the USS Protostar. As the group is pursued by those who imprisoned them, they learn about the ideals and ongoing mission of Starfleet from an advanced hologram of Kathryn Janeway programmed into the ship's systems.
