Prodigy Renewed – Mid Season Breaks
With only 3 episodes released, today Paramount+ renewed the new animated show made by Trollhunters creators Dan and Kevin Hageman for a second season.
The thought was Prodigy would run concurrently alongside the fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery, which is due to be released in 10 days (18/11/21), we have learned that the premiere season of prodigy is to be split with two mid-season breaks.
After the first five episodes, Prodigy will take a hiatus until January 6th 2022 at which time it will air 5 further episodes and then go on another hiatus until some time later in 2022 to which Paramount+ is calling “The second half of season 1”
It is worth noting that the full run of Prodigy Season 1 will consist of 20 episodes and not 10, unlike Lower Decks which currently only airs 10 episodes per season.
The release schedule for the first season will look something like this
- Episodes 1/2: October 28
- Episode 3: November 4
- Episode 4: November 11
- Episode 5: November 18
- Episode 6: January 6
- Episode 7: January 13
- Episode 8: January 20
- Episode 9: January 27
- Episode 10: February 3
- Episodes 11-20: Late 2022
Along with the first seasons 20 episodes, Paramount+ renewed the show for a second season, although no further details about the season’s episode count have been released or when season 2 is expected to air.
