Star Trek's multiverse works. All 20 episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will be released on Monday, July 1st, on Netflix. Time travel is integral to Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, as iral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the teenage former crew of the USS Protostar embark on a mission to rescue Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) from an alternate timeline 52 years in the future.

Appearing on All Access Star Trek: A TrekMovie.com Podcast, Aaron J. Waltke discussed time travel in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. In regard to past or future iterations of characters like Asencia (Jameela Jamil) and The Diviner (John Nobke) appearing, Waltke told hosts Anthony Pascale and Laurie Ulster that Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will not only address Star Trek's multiverse, but also explain how it works. Check out Waltke's quote below and listen to the All Access Star Trek episode in the link above.

If you think that we only talk about time paradoxes in this season, you would be very mistaken. I’m trying to figure out how to say this without sounding too grandiose, but we actually strove to do the impossible and create a grand unifying theory of how the Star Trek multiverse works. And we explore that pretty thoroughly in surprising ways in this season.

Prodigy Is The Perfect Show To Explain Star Trek's Multiverse

Star Trek: Prodigy can boldly do anything

Star Trek: Prodigy is the ideal show to address and explain how Star Trek's multiverse works. As a CGI animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy isn't bound by the same production limits as live-action Star Trek in of depicting people and places across the Multiverse. As long as Prodigy can get permission to secure voice actors, anyone from any Star Trek TV series or movie can potentially appear. Star Trek has been a multiverse since the invention of the Mirror Universe in Star Trek: The Original Series, and J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies as well as Star Trek: Discovery made clear that multiple alternate timelines exist in Star Trek's expansive timeline.

Aaron J. Walke previously said Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 would touch upon every other iteration of Star Trek.

iral Janeway and the USS Voyager-A's mission to save Captain Chakotay from a dark alternate future looks like a springboard for Star Trek: Prodigy to play with time travel and, perhaps, alternate realities. There are bound to be many surprises in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, and the young heroes led by Dal R'El (Brett Gray) and Gwyndala (Ella Purnell) could encounter familiar faces from other Star Trek universes. Aaron J. Walke previously said Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 would touch upon every other iteration of Star Trek, and fans will hopefully understand Star Trek's multiverse better by the end of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2.
