We chat with StarTrekProdigy masterminds brothershageman about the midseason premiere, StarTrek legacy characters returning, and what's coming up in the next several episodes:
Warning: The following interview contains SPOILERS for Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 11 - "Asylum"Over the last year, executive producers Kevin and Dan Hageman have watched Star Trek: Prodigy go from "that Star Trek show for kids" to a highly-acclaimed part of the Star Trek franchise. After a long hiatus, Star Trek: Prodigy has returned with the second half of season 1 on Paramount+.
Kevin & Dan Hageman Talk Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1.5 Screen Rant: It's been a year since Star Trek: Prodigy launched. Can you talk about how you went from not knowing how the show would be received to now coming back with a lot of anticipation after winning kids and adults over? Kevin Hageman: And a little bit of a foil to Jankom Pog. We knew we wanted an Andorian. [Commander Tysses played by Daveed Diggs] And we wanted to hit some classic species and introduce kids to [them so] if they were to change the channel or jump onto the next Trek show, they would see some of these species. Trills are awesome. And Ascenia is a particularly beautifully drawn Trill. Following the Jadzia Dax mold. I wanted to ask you about her.
Kevin Hageman: And we want Prodigy to be canon. We want to be compared to the live-action shows. We didn't want to be in a different category. Since our concept starts outside of Federation space, some people, if you just watch the pilot, you might go, "Oh, this doesn't feel like Trek that much." But if you understand and see the big picture of what we're doing, now you're seeing familiar faces, familiar species, and it just gets more and more Trek every episode.
Dan Hageman: But it was a bit weird to have two different characters who you're not quite sure what their origins are. Dal, you're not sure what species he is. So we did a quick Google search for 'Star Trek Worm.' And I saw a clip of someone calling Wesley Crusher a Mellanoid slime worm. And then I said, "This is it!" And I believe one person guessed it, but I don't think they even took themselves seriously.
Dan Hageman: Yeah, the first thing we knew was how the story comes together in episode one, and then we also knew what would happen in episode 20.
