Last month at SDCC Paramount announced the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy was being released immediately on VOD, with a Blu-ray and DVD arriving in November. We now have more details on the disc release.
Bringing Prodigy home
In Season 2 of Star Trek: Prodigy: “the Protostar crew are assigned a new mission aboard the USS Voyager-A to rescue Captain Chakotay and bring peace to Gwyn’s home world. But when their plan goes astray, it creates a time paradox that jeopardizes both their future and past”. The 20-episode second season arrived on Netflix on July, garnering acclaim here at TrekMovie and with critics and fans. And on November 12 the season will arrive on Blu-ray and DVD (MOD).

In addition to every episode of the second season the home release incudes two all-new featurettes with exclusive cast & crew interviews. The special features for the set are:
- Producing Prodigy: The Legacy
- Producers and Wil Wheaton discuss creating an introduction for new audiences of Prodigy, all the pieces of Legacy Star Trek, and how Prodigy fits into the greater canon.
- The Odyssey of Prodigy
- Producers discuss the Protostar crew coming from being heroes on their own ship to becoming part of something much bigger in Season 2, and Wil Wheaton speaks on his character Wesley Crusher coming back to Star Trek and how that return affected him.
Here is a clip from the “Legacy” feature…

For fans in Canada, Prodigy season 2 is not available for streaming, and it isn’t clear if, when or where it will be released for streaming. However, season 2 is available now in Canada for digital purchase (on Apple/iTunes). It will also be available on Blu-ray and DVD in November.

It sounds like there’s not as much, but what’s there is potentially very nice material, so that’s good. I do wish we could have some audio commentary, though. That’s probably my favorite typical DVD / Blu-ray extra, and Prodigy is the only one of Star Trek’s three animated series that hasn’t received any on its disc releases. But this is still a Day 1 purchase for me.
Is it too late to do something about the art with Jankom’s prosthetic being on the wrong arm?
I agree with you that audio commentaries can add a lot of fun! Too bad we’re not getting any.
Good catch on Jankom’s incorrect hand – that’s quite a bad boo-boo to make for the art department! But I’m pretty sure that it’s not worth it to them to correct, and that we’re stuck with the error… 😬
I noticed it when we saw the key art right as S2 was about to be released on Netflix, and mentioned it then. I assume the character images here were individually rendered (correctly) by artists who actually work on the show, and then a graphic designer who doesn’t know the characters flopped the image for this art. Bleah.
The disc release is a bit under three months away; I’m guessing it’s too late to do something about it, but hopefully not.
Have any Canadians been able to find Prodigy season 2 VOD on anything else other than iTunes? The article lists Amazon and Google Play but I can’t find it there.
Sorry, that was an assumption. Release only stated it was available on VOD. We have reached out to see if there are others besides iTunes.
In USA it is available at other VOD options. For example here is link for Amazon https://amzn.to/46WuDxe
I found a person selling it on Etsy on Blu ray. It was worth it. Fantastic show.
You bought a bootleg.
I must have this when it comes out in November.
Best show in modern Trek by far for me!
100%
Agreed :)
I’ve noticed over the past couple of years that international release dates/info are no longer provided with the press releases for Trek physical media. But I’m not worried, typically they will follow not too far behind.
Typically, but not always. For example, season 3 of Lower Decks was delayed here by almost a year compared to the US release. By contrast, Lower Decks season 4 was only delayed by 4 months.
