With its holiday debut on Netflix, Star Trek: Prodigy is getting a second life on its journey to boldly expand the universe created by Gene Roddenberry almost 60 years ago. The animated series is aimed at a much younger audience, with kids being able to gravitate towards new characters. However, like all good Star Trek, Prodigy is a series fans of all ages can enjoy beyond its connections to the universe's past. When Star Trek returned to CBS and Paramount, it did so with a number of new series of cinematic quality. Shows like Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Lower Decks appealed to different segments of the larger fandom. Yet, all these shows have one thing in common: they are unquestionably for adult fans.
