'Voyager' Star Robert Beltran Boards 'Star Trek: Prodigy'

It looks like Kate Mulgrew won’t be the only Star Trek: Voyager castmember returning to the Star Trek franchise in the upcoming animated series Star Trek: Prodigy!


Robert Beltran, who played Chakotay on Voyager, appeared at the 55-Year Mission convention in Las Vegas on Sunday, August 15 and dropped the big news that he is returning to the Star Trek franchise two decades after Voyager wrapped up. While on stage with his Voyager castmates, Garret Wang, Roxann Dawson and Jeri Ryan (via Zoom), the actor stated:

"I’m working on this voiceover animation thing that Kate [Mulgrew] is doing — Star Trek: Prodigy."

Beltran prefaced the news by saying “I don’t know if I’m supposed to say this or not yet.”

While it’s not clear if Beltran will reprise the role of Chakotay on Prodigy, it would be the logical assumption. Beltran played Chakotay on Voyager for all seven seasons of the series and has been a fixture on the Star Trek convention circuit in recent years. He is also involved with the Voyager documentary To The Voyage, which was successfully crowdfunded back in March.

Prodigy was given a two-season order by Paramount+ and the first season arrives this fall, so Beltran could appear in either season. This revelation is the first known legacy actor joining Kate Mulgrew on Prodigy. The series is set in the Delta Quadrant on an abandoned experimental Starfleet ship commandeered by alien teens, so if Beltran is reprising his Voyager role, it would likely be via hologram like Mulgrew's character.


Developed by Emmy® Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman (Trollhunters and Ninjago) the CG-animated series STAR TREK: PRODIGY is the first Star Trek series aimed at younger audiences and will follow a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search for a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered – a first in the history of the Star Trek franchise – but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.

Star Trek: Prodigy was first announced in July of 2020, with Kate Mulgrew’s involvement being revealed in October. The series will star Brett Gray as Dal, Angus Imrie as Zero, Jason Mantzoukas as Jankom Pog, Ella Purnell as Gwyn, Dee Bradley Baker as Murf, Rylee Alazraqui as Tok-Tahk and Kate Mulgrew as she returns as a holographic Kathryn Janeway, serving as the starship’s (U.S.S. Protostar NX-76884) built-in emergency training hologram.

The 10-episode first season of the series is expected to premiere later this year on the Paramount+ streaming service, and will air on Nickelodeon soon after. It will be broadcast on the CTV Sci-Fi Channel in Canada and will be available on a delay through Sky TV and Paramount+ in Europe in 2022.

STAR TREK: PRODIGY is from CBS’ Eye Animation Productions, CBS Studios’ new animation arm; Nickelodeon Animation Studio, led by President of Animation, Ramsey Naito; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Katie Krentz, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers alongside co-showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman. Ben Hibon directs, co-executive produces and serves as the creative lead of the all-new animated series. Aaron Baiers also serves as co-executive producer.

‘Avatar: Last Airbender’ Fans Crowdfund $1 Million in a Day for New RPG, Goal Met in 16 Minutes

Official Magpie Games press release:

Avatar Legends: The RPG Funded in 16 Minutes!


Today is the big day! The Kickstarter for Avatar Legends: The RPG is live and fully funded, thanks to our AMAZING backers. We hit our goal in 16 minutes and have already unlocked several stretch goals, in addition to all our pre-launch stretch goals.  Thanks to our wonderful community of fans, we’re thrilled to be able to fully realize our vision of an immersive RPG in the world of Avatars Aang and Korra.


Many of you have already played the Quickstart edition, but that was just a taste of what’s coming next year! The full version of the game will include revised mechanics, ten playbooks, and beautiful full-color art.


The unlocked stretch goals currently include:

  • Dice Pack: 12d6 customized for Avatar Legends: The RPG, with a pair for each earth, air, fire, water, weapons, and technology.
  • Four Nations Cloth Map: a full-color 23″x16″ cloth map of the Four Nations.
  • Combat Action Deck: a 54-card deck designed to give you easy tracking for combat exchanges.
  • Dice Bag: a velvety soft bag with a drawstring, clip spring fastener, and embroidery featuring the four symbols of the elements.
  • The Adamant and The Pillar: new core playbooks.
  • Tenzin: an NPC legend with the ability to teach techniques and expand the PC’s training and abilities.

The next stretch goal coming up is Adventure Booklet: 1 – Earth & Root. Available at $500,000, this saddle-stitched 30+ page 8.5″x11″ soft back booklet gives you helpful tools for running an adventure in the Kyoshi Era. Hunt down a notorious daofei and prove your mettle as a hero!


Avatar Legends: The RPG takes the world you know and love and lets you and your friends shape it with your heroic efforts. Make a character from one of several archetypes inspired by fan-favorite heroes and explore the four nations through different eras and conflicts to experience the world like you’ve never seen it before.

We’ve created custom mechanics for adventuring, bending, and finding your way in the world. Every conflict you encounter will help you determine who you are and who you want to become. Fortunately, you won’t be alone. Lean on your friends and fellow heroes on this journey and you may even save the world!

The Kickstarter for Avatar Legends: The RPG is live right now. Head over to our campaign page to pledge and see all the awesome things we have in store for you.


The Avatar: The Last Airbender universe is expanding towards tabletop after a Kickstarter campaign funded a licensed RPG book in only 16 minutes. Besides getting fully funded at an impressive speed, the project already gathered more than one million dollars on the first day of its one-month-long crowdfunding campaign.

Developed by Magpie Games, the RPG project will allow players to fulfill their dream of exploring the Four Nations and bringing balance to the world, be they a bender or not. In addition, Avatar Legends will also give players the resources for making adventures set in different eras of the Avatar universe, such as Kyoshi’s Era or the middle of the Hundred Year War Era. The RPG universe will also feature some famous character as mentors to the player — and, yes, that includes Uncle Iroh.

As with any Kickstarter campaign, the project needed to reach minimum funding to see the light of day. Fortunately, Avatar Legends got the 50 thousand dollars required for the first print in mere 16 minutes, an impressive result by all metrics. However, fans of the animated universe keep contributing to the campaign, which already hauled more than 1.4 million dollars in a single day. Since the campaign will last for a whole month before reaching its end, Avatar Legends has plenty of time to finish with even more impressive numbers.

So far, there are still optional add-ons that Magpie Games will only produce if more funding is gathered. However, since the developer needs only 1.62 million dollars to unlock all stretch goals, it shouldn’t take more than two days for Avatar Legends to become the definitive RPG experience for fans of the universe.

Each $20 pledge ensures fans access to all books unlocked in the campaign in PDF format. Higher tiers also add printed books, unique dice sets, and dozens of other physical goodies. To get all possible physical rewards, fans need to pledge a total of $200 plus a shipping fee that varies according to where in the world you want your rewards to be delivered.

Avatar Legends will be available for players in January 2022.

Avatar: The Last Airbender experienced a boom in popularity last year during the pandemic when all three seasons became available to stream on Netflix starting May 15, 2020. It was this Netflix-created surge in Last Airbender interest that drove ViacomCBS and Nickelodeon to go all in on the franchise expansion and create Avatar Studios.

ALBERT KIM TO SERVE AS SHOWRUNNER & EXECUTIVE PRODUCER WITH EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS DAN LIN, LINDSEY LIBERATORE, MICHAEL GOI AND CO-EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ROSEANNE LIANG


OVERVIEW OF CASTING NEWS

· GORDON CORMIER (he/him) is AANG (12), a fearless and fun-loving twelve-year-old who just happens to be the Avatar, master of all four elements and the keeper of balance and peace in the world. An airbending prodigy, Aang is a reluctant hero, struggling to deal with the burden of his duties while still holding on to his adventurous and playful nature.

· KIAWENTIIO (she/her) is KATARA (14), a determined and hopeful waterbender, the last in her small village. Though only fourteen, she's already endured great personal tragedy, which has held her back from rising to her true potential, though it's never dimmed her warm and caring spirit.

· IAN OUSLEY (he/him) is SOKKA (16), Katara's sardonic and resourceful 16-year-old brother. Outwardly confident, even brash, he takes his responsibility as the leader of his tribe seriously, despite his inner doubts over his warrior skills... doubts that he masks with his wit and deadpan sense of humor.

· DALLAS LIU (he/him) is ZUKO (17), a skilled firebender and the intense and guarded Crown Prince of the Fire Nation. Currently roaming the world in exile, he's on an obsessive quest to capture the Avatar because he believes that is the only way to reclaim his life and live up to the demands of his cruel and controlling father, the Fire Lord.

Bringing 'Avatar' into the Live-Action Realm for Fans Old and New

by Albert Kim

Showrunner, Executive Producer and Writer of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'

"This is all my daughter's fault. She's the one who got me hooked.

When Avatar: The Last Airbender first aired on Nickelodeon, she wasn't quite old enough to fully track the narrative. Yet I'd still find her glued to the TV every week, captivated by the adventures of Aang and his friends (who would quickly become her friends).

I began watching along with her with the thought of helping her understand what was going on. But my Dad-splainy duties quickly fell by the wayside as I found myself sucked into the world and characters, and soon we were watching side by side, both of us swept away by the singular mix of action, humor, and epic storytelling.

It also wasn't lost on me that this was a world that drew from Asian cultures and legend, which is a rarity to this day and something I appreciated as an Asian-American father. That my daughter was able to see characters who looked like her on screen was more than just entertaining. It was a gift.

Flash forward 15 years. Netflix offers me the opportunity to develop a live-action remake of Avatar. My first thought was, "Why? What is there I could do or say with the story that wasn't done or said in the original?" A:TLA had only grown in popularity and acclaim over the last decade and a half, which is a testament to how complete and resonant a narrative experience it had been. So if it ain't broke, why fix it?

But the more I thought about it, the more intrigued I became. VFX technology has advanced to the point where a live-action version can not only faithfully translate what had been done in animation - it can bring a rich new visual dimension to a fantastic world. We'll be able to see bending in a real and visceral way we've never seen before.

Also, Netflix's format meant we had an opportunity to reimagine a story that had originally been told in self-contained half-hour episodes as an ongoing serialized narrative. That meant story points and emotional arcs we'd loved in the original could be given even more room to breathe and grow.

Finally, a live-action version would establish a new benchmark in representation and bring in a whole new generation of fans. This was a chance to showcase Asian and Indigenous characters as living, breathing people. Not just in a cartoon, but in a world that truly exists, very similar to the one we live in.

I also knew what I didn't want to do. I didn't want to change things for the sake of change. I didn't want to modernize the story, or twist it to fit current trends. Aang is not going to be a gritty antihero. Katara is not going to get curtain bangs. (I was briefly tempted to give Sokka a TikTok account though. Think of the possibilities.)

Don't get me wrong. We'll be expanding and growing the world, and there will be surprises for existing fans and those new to the tale. But throughout this process, our byword has been "authenticity." To the story. To the characters. To the cultural influences. Authenticity is what keeps us going, both in front of the camera and behind it, which is why we've assembled a team unlike any seen before - a group of talented and passionate artists who are working around the clock to bring this rich and incredibly beautiful world to life.

But in the end, the reason I decided to do this came down to one thing:

Somewhere out there, a young kid is sitting glued to their TV, waiting to be taken on an incredible journey. And I want to take them on it.

I hope you'll come along too."

The live-action version of Last Airbender was first ordered at Netflix in September 2018. The animated version aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from February 2005 to July 2008. The series received substantial acclaim during its run, picking up multiple Annie Awards, Genesis Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award. The sequel series, Legend of Korra, aired for four seasons from 2012-2014. Both shows have continued in on-going graphic novel series.

Original series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were originally attached to create the series for Netflix, but they announced in August 2020 that they were no longer involved. They have since announced a new deal with Nickelodeon to establish Avatar Studios, which will create new animated series and films set within the Avatar universe.
