Executive Producer Aaron Waltke’s list of positive ways to Save Prodigy include:

– Completing your watch of season one. There are still a few days and completion stats count.

– For those on Twitter and Mastodon using the hashtags #StarTrekProdigy and #SaveStarTrekProdigy.

— Using the ‘Save Prodigy’ avatars (linked here in an earlier post).

— Buying merchandise: DVDs, BlueRays, Actions Figures, Nintendo game etc. Much of this is already selling out in North America. In the UK, the DVD is now the top seller on Amazon.uk.

Additional options from fans that I’ve seen posted around social media to communicate your desire to Save Prodigy:

— Download Prodigy episodes from whatever streamer you watch Star Trek on (Paramount+, Crave Sky-Showtime etc.) or purchase season one and purchase to download from Amazon, Google etc.

– Buy the chapter books for 8-10 year olds. 2 of 4 have been released, with the other 2 on preorder through major sellers.

– Send a paper snail mail letter to the head of children’s programming at Paramount. I have seen this name and address posted elsewhere

Brian Robbins
President and CEO, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon
Chief Content Officer, Movies & Kids & Family, Paramount+
1515 Broadway
New York, NY 10036

– Sign the Save Star Trek Prodigy petition if you’re willing to deal with the (now commercialized) platform and the ensuing spam. (Completely understand why most folks here would not want to.) The petition has reached nearly 10k supporters in less than 2 days. By comparison, the one calling for Star Trek Legacy took weeks to gain this level of support.

    Is it still on Netflix? I lost access when they stopped password sharing but last I checked they had everything before Discovery.

      Star Trek has been leaving Netflix in all countries as its licences run out.

      It hasn’t been available in Canada other than through Bell Media’s platforms.

          You are correct. The classic series are all still listed on Netflix in Canada.

          I‘be never actually watched them there so they haven’t come up in my algorithm.

          I have PlutoTV in Canada. Star Trek doesn’t come up when I search.

          It’s also the case that Paramount+ offers little Star Trek in Canada.

                  That’s why @[email protected] and I are super curious to see what happens when all the shows other than SNW go off Crave at the end of July.

                  It’s arguable that Star Trek has been relatively more popular in Canada than any country, including the United States.

                  Bell Media has had the licences in Canada for both linear and streaming. (Netflix with a nonexclusive for the older shows is an exception.).

                  Extracting Star Trek from Bell Media couldn’t have been easy. Bell Media is a subsidiary of Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) which has not only largest landline, fiberoptic and mobile telephone networks. Through Bell Media it owns the largest private television network, news channel. They also happen to be the general manager and part owner of Pinewood Toronto Studios where Discovery has had leases for its enormous soundstages.

              Yes it does.

              There are different licensing agreements in Canada, especially for Star Trek which is huge here. TNG was, during its run, the top show in Canada, not just in genres shows. Picard has spiked to that level in some of its season premieres.
