Just delaying the inevitable given netflix kills shows after the 2nd season
post
So you're saying it's already cancelled again.
i like prodigy but i hate netflix :(
At least you'll be able to find it on the high seas now, rather than it rotting on some hard drive in the back of a cupboard.
Hi everyone! Netflix by far is the best home for Prodigy in the current streaming landscape.
They have the largest media share and Star Trek has historically done exceptionally well on their service — this opens the door for more seasons of our show.
Animated shows like “The Dragon Prince” have run up to seven seasons on Netflix.
“Longmire” was saved from cancellation and was renewed for an additional five seasons by Netflix. So was “Lucifer,” and many others.
Feel free to celebrate!
I saw this article first, but startrek.com has an announcement with a couple of brief quotes:
“Thank you to our incredible Star Trek: Prodigy fans, who championed not just a show, but a community that’s always been connected by the belief that we build a better future together,” said executive producer Alex Kurtzman and co-showrunners Dan and Kevin Hageman. “We set out to inspire you, but you inspired us. The team is still hard at work on the second season, and we can’t wait to share it with the amazing fans around the world.”
“I've always held that the Star Trek fan base is among the strongest and most intelligent in the world. They have shown their collective passion, and we’re happy to be able to celebrate Prodigy once again,” said Kate Mulgrew, voice of Admiral Janeway.
Excluded from the deal are Canada, where Prodigy is carried by CTV.ca and the CTV App, and in SkyShowtime’s European territories: the Nordics, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Central and Eastern Europe.
This Canadian currently pays for:
- Premium/4k/ Expensive Netflix
- Amazon Prime
- Disney+
- Paramount+
- YouTube Premium
- Crave (going away at Christmas)
- Curiosity Stream
- CBC Gem
- Spotify
The CTV App can fuck itself. I'll be pirating the show and I'm not even ashamed.-
Jeeze, I wasn't even aware that Gem had a paid tier...
Weird that it’s excluded in Canada - since it won’t be streaming on Crave as well as broadcast on CTV Sci-fi.
Up to now, Netflix has been able to get the streaming rights to CTV Sci-Fi Channel shows if Crave doesn’t take the complementary streaming portion of the Canadian market.
It's a little clear, but I think there's a chance it will show up on CTV Sci-Fi. We'll have to see.
Glad it got picked up. I thought it would be Amazon Prime most likely to get it as they'd already invested in Picard. But I'm fine with Netflix. I'm due to get back round to Netflix after Christmas on my subscription rotation plan so hopefully I can binge watch both seasons of Prodigy by then.
This is a good change. I think we could be in a much better place if companies that owned both production and streaming were more open about licensing.
Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum it is then.
