Prodigy EP hints at possible third season of Captain Kirk as Chris Pine

Star Trek: Prodigy Co-Executive Producer Aaron J. Waltke recently spoke about the Star Trek lore of the series’ second season. The EP revealed that Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk could appear in season 2 for a 2-episode arc, hinting at the character’s possible involvement in a potential third season.

Waltke discussed the potential Star Trek: Prodigy crossover in an interview with Screen Rant. “I think at one point we discussed the possibility of what other universes we could explore,” he said. “And I think at one point we talked about even bringing in the Kelvin universe, but we just didn’t have time in the episode ‘Cracked Mirror’ where they go into all the different universes. And we thought, ‘Oh, what if we brought in Captain Kirk and had him help them in a few episodes?‘”

Star Trek: Prodigy may be an animated series for children, but Season 2 of the Netflix series enriches the Trek universe for science fiction fans of all ages.

The Star Trek: Prodigy EP continued: “It was a cool idea, but there were just a little too many sauces in the stew. I think it would have been fun. But I think it would have distracted from the story we were telling. For a few episodes it would have been the Captain Kirk show. Maybe this is season 3, we’ll find out.” If Pines Captain Kirk is indeed in Star Trek: Prodigy Season 3, it would be the first time that a Star Trek Character from the Kelvin Timeline Universe appeared in a Star Trek television series. Pine last appeared in 2016 in the role of the character starTrekBeyondwhich had already brought the previous parts of the trilogy, 2009, into the spotlight Star Trek and 2013 Star Trek Into Darkness.

Where Star Trek: Prodigy leaves the real Kathryn Janeway behind

While the first season of Star Trek: Prodigy introduced a holographic version of Kathryn Janeway, it comes as a real shock that the second season features the real Admiral Janeway.

The producer continued: “So, I look forward to the day when we can make that call, we get a call from Alex Kurtzman and they say, “Netflix has an appetite (for more Wonder).’ Whether it’s an animated film, a sequel or a third season. But I know that anyone who can call our crew and actors would love to come back.”

Both seasons of Star Trek: Prodigy can be streamed on Netflix.
