Star Trek: Prodigy is produced by the Nickelodeon Animation Studio and CBS Studios' Eye Animation Production.

Over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.

Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Katie Krentz, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers alongside co-showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman.
