NOVEMBER 7, 2023 - This year is the Second Annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, and for the second year in a row Star Trek: Prodigy has been nominated. They are nominated for Sound Mixing and Sound Editing for an Animated Program, alongside Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons, I Am Groot, Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight, and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Last year Prodigy was nominated for Outstanding Animated Series and the Production Designer, Alessandro Taini, won an award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Children’s Animation, which is a Jury award. The Jury awards for this year will be announced at the end of this month so it is possible for Prodigy to receive even more awards.
Prodigy has been through a lot this year with getting booted from Paramount+ and then getting picked up by Netflix. Now it is even clearer that getting rid of Prodigy was a mistake for Paramount+ because for the second time since its cancellation Prodigy has been nominated for an award. Earlier this year it was nominated for a different Emmy Award.
However, despite all these awards, Netflix has yet to announce when Prodigy will be going to their platform. It wasn’t included in their November release announcement so it is currently looking like Prodigy will make its way to Netflix in December.
Aster is a fresh face to Daily Star Trek News, joining the ranks as a contributing writer. Though he may be young, he self-describes as a hardcore nerd, lover of cheese sticks and niche internet discourse. Outside of his long-time obsession with Star Trek, Aster is an avid cosplayer, crocheter, and Catan enthusiast who is attending school for technical theater and design. He's very excited to debut in his "professional nerd career" and finally put all his obscure nerd facts to good use.
