Comic-Con beams up trailers for Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2, new animated series Star Trek: Prodigy
Star Trek animation is going into warp speed this year

Comic-Con is here, and without the two biggest comic book publishers in the world gumming up the works with superhero movie news, it’s a chance for little-known properties, like Star Trek, to take the spotlight.
At the Paramount+ Star Trek panel this morning, moderator and Star Trek: Lower Decks commander Jerry O’Connell led fans through 2 new trailers, Lower Decks season 2 and a new animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy. Our first look at Prodigy, a kids’ animated series that has a distinct Star Wars: Clone Wars vibe thanks to some impressive computer-generated animation, boasts a strong voice cast. The great Kate Mulgrew is back (in hologram form) as Captain Kathryn Janeway, while beloved comedy star Jason Mantzoukas makes his debut (in Pog form) in the Star Trek universe as Jankum Pog—do with that name what you will. Made in collaboration with Nickelodeon and developed by Kevin and Dan Hageman (Trollhunters, Ninjago), Star Trek: Prodigy is the first Star Trek series aimed at a younger audience—though Jerry O’Connell insists it’s not just for kids, and you trust Jerry O’Connell, don’t you? He was a Slider! Here’s the synopsis:
Star Trek: Prodigy will follow a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search for a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered–a first in the history of the Star Trek franchise–but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.
