“We made this with love,” she said, referring to the show. Jamil said that she was “over the moon” to have joined the Star Trek universe, and that the experience was the most fun she’d had. Gray, whose character, Dal, has no memory of his parents and is of an unknown species, hinted that while some new information would be revealed in the upcoming episodes, it will bring more questions than answers and is really only the beginning (he also said it was “epic”). As the first Star Trek show specifically for children, Prodigy is taking fandom someplace new and “very bloody exciting.” She also said that it’s been “thrilling to play” Janeway’s various incarnations, from the original captain to the holographic version introduced in the first half of Prodigy.
Mulgrew spoke of how Star Trek has created a cross-generational conversation that we haven’t seen before, as children watch Prodigy, and their parents grew up on Voyager, and grandparents on the original series. Voice actors Kate Mulgrew (Kathryn Janeway), Brett Gray (Dal R’El), and Jameela Jamil (Asencia) joined Kurtzman and Roddenberry, as well as Executive Producers Dan Hageman, Kevin Hagemen, and Ben Hibon. One of the newest entries into the Star Trek universe is the animated Prodigy, which follows a scrappy band of alien kids who discover a powerful Starfleet vessel and use it to escape their oppressive world.

Kurtzman spoke of how the most exciting thing about the show is getting to evolve the character of Captain Burnham over the course of the show. Rapp talked about how Stamets will try to figure out a new path for scientific exploration, as science is his reason for being, and he’s always looking for his next passion. Martin-Green mentioned that Captain Burnham will deal with a conflict between duty and romance, a plot element that should be familiar to those who’ve watched the previous season. As for her character’s romance with Cleveland “Book” Booker? Executive Producers Alex Kurtzman and Rod Roddenberry and actors Wilson Cruz (Hugh Culber) and Anthony Rapp (Paul Stamets) took to the stage while Sonequa Martin-Green (Michael Burnham) joined virtually (she’d been filming the upcoming season of Discovery until that morning and couldn’t fly to New York in time).Ĭruz talked about how tonally, Discovery has shifted from season to season, and that the fifth season would carry on in that tradition, sending the crew on an adventure in which they must use their strengths to solve a mystery while discovering themselves.ĭiscovery has always placed great emphasis on its characters, and Martin-Green spoke of how the upcoming season would focus on who the characters are, and, more importantly, who they are together, in a more profound way than before. The current era of Star Trek kicked off with Discovery in 2017, and so it was fitting that the Discovery panel went first.

Cast members and creators behind three Paramount+ shows, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Picard, came on stage for thirty-minute panels to talk about their characters and the upcoming seasons (or, in the case of Prodigy, second half of a season) for their shows.Ĭonstrained by studio rules and non-disclosure agreements, which were often joked about by the cast members of all three shows, the panelists were not able to reveal much.
