It's been a long time coming, but Star Trek: Prodigy will finally arrive for fans with Netflix subscriptions on July 1. I was already as excited as everyone else to stream all twenty episodes of the upcoming Trek series all at once. Now that the first trailer is here, I'm breathing a lot easier, as some worries I had at the end of Season 1 are no longer in play after watching the footage.

Suffice it to say, the bar is high for some Star Trek fans for this upcoming season of Prodigy . While the animated series is intended for children, it provided some of the best episodes of the Trek franchise. It also gave us Vau N'Akat, one of the most exciting species that conveniently disappear when they die for a hilarious reason .



Looks like we'll be getting more of the aliens in the upcoming season, and specifically more of Ella Purnell's Gwyn, whom I feared wouldn't be around much. Gwyn isn't even just in the Star Trek: Prodigy trailer; she's all over the place. It's clear that her journey to search for the Vau N'Akat will coincide with Dal and the gang's time in Starfleet as they search for Chakotay.

I had my doubts considering the, as Dal put it, "timey-wimey" element of the crew needing to go into an alternate future to retrieve him, but it looks like the adventures will bring the whole Protostar crew back together. Plus, voice actress Ella Purnell's level of fame vaulted quite high (pun intended) following the release of Prime Video's Fallout . So her being fully invested with Gwy.
