During today’s New York Comic-Con broadcast, Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman announced Star Trek: Voyager’s Kate Mulgrew will return to her role as Captain Kathryn Janeway in the upcoming animated series Star Trek: Prodigy.
The announcement marks the return of the first female captain since the end of Star Trek: Voyager in 2001.
“I have invested every scintilla of my being in Captain Janeway, and I can’t wait to endow her with nuance that I never did before in Star Trek: Prodigy. How thrilling to be able to introduce to these young minds an idea that has elevated the world for decades. To be at the helm again is going to be deeply gratifying in a new way for me,” said Mulgrew.
“Captain Janeway was held to a different standard than her predecessors. She was asked to embody an inhuman level of perfection in order to be accepted as ‘good enough’ by the doubters, but showed them all what it means to be truly outstanding. We can think of no better captain to inspire the next generation of dreamers on Nickelodeon, than she,” said Kurtzman.
Star Trek: Prodigy, according to the Star Trek post, “follows a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation.”
The animated series will make its debut on Nickelodeon next year.
