Prodigy's Fate Sealed?

It's a shame there won't be a third season, but it's a good place to end it where it left off.

I struggled to finish watching the Prodigy second season. So this is not a big loss to me. Admittedly I am not a fan of animated Star Trek shows and I prefer all the live action series much more than any of the animated ones.

Futurama returned after 9 years. X-Men returned after 27 years! I wouldn't say that the fate of the series is "sealed", only that it won't be coming back for the time being.

Yes.

Its fate was sealed the moment it went to Netflix. Anything of quality gets shot in the head by Netflix.

I don't think this has anything to do with Netflix. Netflix probably only got the rights to broadcast the first two seasons in certain countries. In order to make a third season, they had to get the rights all over the world. And I don't think there was a deal for a third season. That's why they added that last scene, I think.

Well, since Prodigy is also animated (albeit in 3d), it could make a similar 'comeback'... but to be fair, it seems a tad 'drawn out' to wait nearly a decade for a continuation of the old show - then again, that might not be a bad thing if the current climate isn't 'receptive' enough of it.

I know the Hageman brothers are busy with other projects, so I think I'd prefer a 'shorter hiatus' of a few years rather than the longer one of nearly a decade.

I mean technically speaking, in today's age, if you switch over to animation, you can bypass the ageing problem and even use AI for voice synthesis of the actors who may have passed away or whose voices may have changed too much (with their permission of course).

We've heard nothing about a renewal for months which isn't a good sign. But I was satisfied with how they wrapped up Pro

Also, the end of season 2 ends the children's arcs that started in the very first episode. They have reached their goals, they escaped Tars Lamora, improved and joined Starfleet. More would risk to be a repetition (if not handled carefully, as the Hageman's likely would but alternative showrunners might not) of similar beats (Dal again having to mature?) or to evolve into a next-next-generation. Why the latter would be fun, it wouldn't really be the original premise anymore.

Yes. Too many TV series go on way too long. I'm a big fan of limited series and/or shows that last five years or less, if they're done well of course. Unfortunately sometimes you're left wanting more. But then again, that's not always a terrible feeling.

I'd rather be left wanting more..
