Paramount has announced that Prodidgy will get a second season.

Ambiguous language in the description of the original deal was generally interpreted to mean it was initially being developed for 2 seasons of 10 episodes each.

The series will debut this year on Paramount+ before securing a second window at a later date on Nickelodeon as the streamer becomes the central priority for parent company ViacomCBS. The 20-episode order will be split in two parts, with Nick securing the first half ahead of the streaming launch of the second, etc.

Paramount have now clarified that season 1 will run for 20 episodes with some breaks:

• Episodes 1 - 5 : October 28 - November 18.
• Episodes 6-10 : January 6 - February 3.
• Episodes 11 - 20 : To be announced.

Plus season 2.

Included with the announcement was the claim that it was their top performing original animated kids series which isn't surprising or unbelieavable since it would also appeal to older Star Trek fans.

How many people watched it? That they don't tell us.
