    The cancellation was announced just before the end of the last quarter along with a couple of other shows. The justification was better alignment of their core streaming strategy but it wasn’t convincing.

    It doesn’t make a lot of sense given that Paramount+ branded itself as the home of all Star Trek and the show was the second most in-demand original animated show on the streamer in 2022 after Lower Decks.

    That said, the show was originally intended to be shown on Nickelodeon which has been in a viewership free fall since 2017 as kids have moved away from watching cable. I have to wonder then if the decision on Prodigy may have been more of a decision about extracting Nickelodeon from its share of the expenses.

    In any event, buying the show and showing support is a key way to keep building the case for it to find a home on another streamer. There’s also a change.org petition that’s getting close to 35k signatures now.
