Creating Character

This eight-part feature focuses on the seven main Prodigy cast (Dal, Gwyn, Jankom Pog, Rok-Tahk, Zero, Murf, and Hologram Janeway), along with some interviews with a few of the cast who voice each character, and comments from the show runners on the assembled cast. Senior director Ben Hibon and the Prodigy animation team also share their insights on the design of each character.

Trek Tradition

The segment focuses on the origins of Star Trek: Prodigy and how the Hageman brothers were essentially recruited to pitch a kids’ Trek show to Secret Hideout. The interview segments generally contain information shared in other forums over the last two years, but for those who don’t follow Trek news the way the rest of us do, it’s a nice recap of the desire to build an “on ramp” for younger viewers to find their way into Star Trek fandom.

Trek Gadgets and Gear

Eight-part feature, spending time with Prodigy prop designer Jack Rossi and concept artist Gus Mendonça as they run through some of the primary props and devices found around the USS Protostar. The discussions range from adding necessary detailing to the mess hall replicators, bridging the look of Starfleet technology to its most recent in-universe designs (in Star Trek: Voyager), how the ship’s Vehicle Replicator serves as a lesson learned from the USS Voyager’s seemingly-endless collection of shuttlecraft, and that the inspiration for the Runaway off-road-vehicle design came from Mendonça’s dog.
