    While I am glad it is on Netflix yet I am still ticked off that it is not on Paramount+ anymore. What happened to all Star Trek in one place? Not some, ALL. With that said, glad Season 2 will be there. I am not going to get a Netflix subscription just to watch one Star Trek show. I am glad that the petitions and outcry over the previous decision worked.

    Well... it could be something forced on Paramount by Nickelodeon. The key difference between Prodigy and the rest of Star Trek is that it was a joint project with another company. That makes things even more complicated. If one partner decides to say "scrap it and remove it", the other side of the coin may not have a choice in the matter.
    We may never know the full details of what happened with Prodigy, but the fact remains it was not 100% owned by Paramount at the time.

    I'm not sure whether this differs between countries or continents, but the older Star Trek shows (TOS - ENT) are also on Netflix. At least here in the Netherlands.

    Originally all Trek was going to be on CBS All Access here in the US. Outside of the US it was hosted on Netflix until CBS AA expanded into those countries I think. Since then its become Paramount+. I don't know if the plan is the same though.

    Honestly, in Germany, I can't tell which streaming service hosts what. I have paramount+ and Netflix and I find a lot of Trek on both. I was wondering though why prodigy wasn't available on P+ any more (which I watch through the amazon prime app...). I'm glad if it comes to Netflix. Not because I think Netflix is a particularly good platform but I just want to have everything in one place.

    I checked yesterday, and - at least over here - PIC is available through Amazon Prime.

    It's a mess. It wouldn't surprise me if even no one at CBS had a clear idea of what's available where and through which streaming service(s).

    That's so funny, it's available through P+ AND Prime here. Since I watch P+ through the prime app, it shows me BOTH as available. And more than once I wanted to continue watching, but choose the wrong one and it did start over. Let alone the fact that each season got it's own "folder". It's such a annoying mess.​​

    I think the blame can be put in Nickelodeon for Prodigy being yanked from Paramount+? The problem with Prodigy was that it was a joint project, meaning both Paramount and Nickelodeon owned it. If Nickelodeon said yank it, then.. Paramount probably would have had no choice because of the shared ownership at the time.

    IMO, the show is not "saved" yet. To me, "saved" would be actually renewed for more seasons in the future. AFAIK Netflix has picked up the rights to stream the show and will release S2 which was already made, so they are not actually funding anything new (not made) yet. If a S3 happens, that would actually be "saved" IMO.

    While Netflix - like many streaming services - may be imperfect at the executive levels I'm just pleased more fans will see what Prodigy has to offer.

    There are still Trekkies out there who only have the opinions of others who have seen it as to the merits of Prodigy. While I don't have access to subscriber figures - very few people have that - I suspect Netflix offers a broader audience. IMO, any newer Trek production getting an audience away from Paramount+ is a save.

    Also, had no streaming service picked up Prodigy at all? We would be waiting for direct to Blu-Ray. If we were so lucky some day.

    I'm glad the show will be available for people to watch again, and I hope it gets enough views for them to actually renew it for a S2 one day. Until then, it is effectively "cancelled". But if they think it will make money, they'll come back to it.

    You mean a Season 3?

    ...and Prodigy is LIVE on Netflix! Now to feed the ever evolving streaming service algorithm. To insure both seasons one and two will permit for a season three. Also, someone made fans this gem of a video.
