Following the critical success of Paramount+'s ongoing animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks, the studio smartly greenlit an animated series that was aimed specifically at kids, but it has tugged at the heartstrings of an audience that is still a kid at heart too. Star Trek: Prodigy centers around a rag-tag crew of kids who came into the possession of the U.S.S. Protostar—a Starfleet Federation vessel that was previously captained by none other than Star Trek: Voyager's Chakotay.
KEVIN HAGEMAN: I think you just got it because we're like, "Here." You know? Like, "There's a few things we want to fix, but it has to go out."Collider: Does that help knowing exactly where the end game is? Because I feel like there are a lot of shows that are running right now that feel like they're evolving as the episodes air. But you have a very clear picture of where things are going. So how does that help your creative process?Collider: Good pun.
KEVIN HAGEMAN: And I love how at the beginning of our show, we're outside of Federation space. We're far out. And so some people are like, "Oh, how is this Star Trek?" I'm like, "Just wait. Just wait. This is the concept. They're going to get closer and closer." And now, what's so fun is you get this end tag, and you're like, "Oh yeah. This is canon. There are existing living Star Trek legacy characters who will be in this show.
Collider: That's one of the storylines that doesn't get closure in this episode. How much fun is it then to have some of these big plot points dangling, especially knowing that the adults watching the show are eager to get to it? Has it been fun to see interactions on Twitter? Collider: I think it was Aaron that tweeted about how excited people were going to be to sew something from the finale. And of course, that's the uniforms that we saw in part one of "A Moral Star." How much fun, how much thought went into you creating what these uniforms would look like? Because that's really like the big thing in Star Trek. Every era has its own iconic look.
DAN HAGEMAN: I mean, I think even as the characters say that there's no way for them to fit all of the minors onto the Protostar. So it's not big enough. It can probably house 20. But we don't want to make our show unmanageable where we have too many characters to follow. But I definitely can say... You know? Like every show, they're going to be meeting allies, they're going to be meeting friendlies and not so friendlies. And we'll see who makes it onto the bridge.
