This is a great interview with some significant behind the scenes perspective, and affirmation that fan advocacy is having an impact.

KEVIN: When interested parties with offers come forward, we’re going to be a part of that conversation. . . All we know at our level right now is that there’s active talks happening, right now. . .

** TREKCORE: What can Prodigy fans do to support the efforts that might be happening behind the scenes?**

DAN: I think they’re doing exactly what they —

KEVIN: They’re doing more!

DAN: More than we ever asked for, or expected.

KEVIN: All the noise they’re making out there is fantastic. I don’t think that telling Paramount+ to pick us back up again is going to happen; I think they’ve made their choice. Now it’s about telling Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, or whoever that “Hey, here’s a great freaking show!”

DAN: Just tell people about the show! Because I think Prodigy looks like one thing from an outsider’s perspective — it could look like a young show, or a show that someone might not be into. But when people say “There’s some great storytelling in there!” or “You don’t even need to have children to enjoy Prodigy…”

KEVIN: Spread the word, it’s an all-ages show.

I keep thinking about a series that's part of a franchise being cancelled and sold to another "network," and how rare that is...when was the last time that happened?

Has it happened since BtVS and Angel got split across UPN and The WB?

I’m still thinking ‘darn strange.’
