The news comes hot on the heels of Playmates Toys and Paramount Consumer Products unveiling a first look at their upcoming line of Star Trek: Prodigy action figures, set for release in October 2022! 

Produced by the Nickelodeon Animation Studio and CBS Studios’ Eye Animation Production, STAR TREK: PRODIGY made its debut in October 2021 is already a hit amongst Paramount+ subscribers, and had the top-performing premiere day out of any original animated kids series on the service.
