‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ beams into the Philippines this April
Star Trek: Prodigy, the first Star Trek series aimed at younger audiences and the first to use 3D animation, will be warping to the Philippines next Monday, April 25.
The Nickelodeon series promises to take younger Trekkies on out-of-this-world adventures with its motley crew of aliens, equipped with the coolest space gadgets.
Viewers in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia can catch the premiere next Monday, April 25, airing weekdays at 7:00 p.m. on the Nickelodeon channel. The series is set to premiere a week early in Singapore and Thailand starting April 18.
The series, which comes from Emmy Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman (Trollhunters and Ninjago), follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future.
These six young outcasts know nothing about the U.S.S. Protostar ship they have commandeered—a first in the history of the Star Trek franchise—but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.

Longtime Trekkies can look out for Easter eggs from the Star Trek Universe peppered throughout the series.
Kate Mulgrew reprises her role as Captain Kathryn Janeway from the ’90s Star Trek: Voyager series, but in hologram form. Kate won’t be the only Star Trek alum to join the adventure—Robert Beltran will reprise his Voyager role as Captain Chakotay.
Watch out for other familiar voices in the Trek universe popping up throughout the series—from Spock to Dr. Beverly Crusher.
Other members of the Star Trek: Prodigy voice cast include Brett Gray (Dal), Ella Purnell (Gwyn), Rylee Alazraqui (Rok-Tahk), Angus Imrie (Zero), Jason Mantzoukas (Jankom Pog), Dee Bradley Baker (Murf), John Noble (The Diviner) and Jimmi Simpson (Drednok).
There’s more in store for sci-fi fans beyond holograms. Fans can feast their eyes on a staggering range of gadgets and technology in the series—from phasers and universal translators, to food replicators and living armor that can transform with just a thought.
