Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 brings back season 1's entire young voice cast as well as some fan-favorite characters from Star Trek: Voyager. Created by Kevin and Dan Hageman, Star Trek: Prodigy is a joint production by CBS/Paramount and Nickelodeon. Originally streaming on Paramount+, Prodigy was abruptly canceled by the streamer in June 2023, but ardent fan support saved the all-ages animated series. Star Trek: Prodigy will now stream on Netflix, with season 1's 20 episodes debuting in late 2023 before an all-new crop of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 episodes hit Netflix in 2024.

Star Trek: Prodigy began in the late 24th century Delta Quadrant when six alien teenagers escaped the slave world of Tars Lamora and commandeered the USS Protostar. The Protostar's new crew came under the tutorship of Hologram Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and learned the values of Starfleet. As Prodigy season 1 unfolded, it revealed a complex time travel plot where the Vau N'Akat from an alternate 25th-century timeline sought to destroy Starfleet in the 24th century. With the help of Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), the crew of the Protostar saved Starfleet and the galaxy, which opened up the question of their future in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 as the young heroes arrived on Earth with hopes of joining Starfleet Academy. Here is the cast of Star Trek: Prodigy and who voices each character.

Kate Mulgrew As Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway & Hologram Janeway

Kate Mulgrew did double duty in Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 by playing Hologram Janeway, the USS Protostar's virtual training protocol, before the actual Admiral Janeway joined the series. After chasing the Protostar across the Delta Quadrant, Vice Admiral Janeway got to know the young crew of the Protostar and realized they were Starfleet material. Janeway makes the kids her warrant officers as she mounts a new mission to rescue the stranded Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) from an alternate future in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 aboard her new starship, the USS Voyager-A. Reprising her iconic role from Star Trek: Voyager, Kate Mulgrew also starred in Orange Is The New Black and Mr. Mercedes.

Brett Gray As Dal R'El

17-year-old Dal was the self-appointed leader and Captain of the USS Protostar's crew. In Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, Dal learns he is genetically engineered, and his body consists of DNA from multiple species, giving him myriad abilities. Unfortunately, Dal's status as an Augment is a barrier against his joining Starfleet Academy since eugenics is banned by the United Federation of Planets. A cocky maverick with a good heart, Dal is learning to be a leader and he has a sweet closeness to Gwyndala (Ella Purnell). Brett Gray previously starred in the Netflix series On My Block and he appeared in Chicago P.D.

Ella Purnell As Gywndala

Gwyn is the 17-year-old daughter of the Diviner (John Noble) but she rebelled against her father and his twisted plan to destroy Starfleet. At the end of Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, Gwyndala chose to leave her friends and Starfleet Academy and travel to the Vau N'Akat homeworld of Solum to prevent the tragic future that happens after Starfleet makes First Contact. Ella Purnell is a British actress best known for Yellowjackets, as well as Sweetbitter and Army of the Dead.

Rylee Alazraqui As Rok-Tahk

Rok-Tahk is an 8-year-old Brikar who initially is assigned as the USS Protostar's Security Chief because of her size and strength. But sweet young Rok-Tahk revealed a genius for sciences, and she took on a more suitable position as Science Officer. Rok-Tahk hopes to apply her love of sciences at Starfleet Academy. Star Trek: Prodigy is Rylee Alazraqui's first voiceover acting role.

Angus Imrie As Zero

A noncorporeal, genderless, and energy-based lifeform, Zero wears a containment suit and begins Star Trek: Prodigy being hunted by the Diviner and Drednok. This is because Zero is a Medusan, which is a species from Star Trek: The Original Series. Zero is the troubleshooting brains of the former Protostar crew, and Starfleet gave him an upgrade of his containment suit. Angus Imrie is a British actor who played Prince Edward in The Crown and starred in Fleabag and War of the Worlds.

Jason Mantzoukas As Jankom Pog

A 16-year-old Tellarite, Jankom Pog is a gruff but ingenious engineer. Jankom didn't know much about his race, the Tellarites, and upon learning they are founding members of the Federation, he came to believe he is Starfleet royalty. Jason Mantzoukas is an actor and comedian who appeared in Parks and Recreation, The Good Place, and Infinite.

Dee Bradley Baker As Murf

Murf began as a friendly purple alien blob, but he evolved into a more humanoid form after Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 revealed he's a Mellanoid slime worm. The adorable Murf is apparently indestructible, speaks no known language, and communicates with a series of sound effects, but he has also saved the USS Protostar more than once. Dee Bradley Baker is a prolific voiceover actor who has starred in numerous video games and animated series like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

John Noble As The Diviner

The Diviner was the ruler of Tars Lamora, where he enslaved countless alien youths as he searched for the USS Protostar. A Vau N'Akat time traveler, he ultimately placed Gwyndala, his daughter and "progeny," above his diabolical plan to destroy Starfleet, which saw him murdered by Asencia (Jameela Jamil). John Noble is a legendary Australian actor best known for starring in Fringe, Sleepy Hollow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

Jameela Jamil as Asencia

Known as The Vindicator, Asencia was another Vau N'Akat who time-traveled from the 25th century to destroy Starfleet. Asencia posed as a Trill Ensign aboard the USS Dauntless before she revealed her true nature. Asencia failed in her plot, but she escaped with Drednok and could return in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. Jameela Jamil starred in The Good Place and Marvel's She-Hulk.

Jimmi Simpson As Drednok

Drednok is a sinister and deadly piece of Vau N'Akat technology that serves The Diviner and Asencia as their unstoppable robotic enforcer. Drednok remains at large with Asencia and could return in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. Jimmi Simpson has a prolific acting career, but he may be best known for starring in Westworld.

Robert Beltran as Captain Chakotay

Captain Chakotay was the original Captain of the USS Protostar, which launched with a mission to go to the Delta Quadrant to "clean up the messes" the USS Voyager left behind. After accidentally traveling to an alternate 25th century future, Chakotay has been stranded on Solum after he sent the Protostar back in time to keep the ship safe from the Vau N'Akat. Robert Beltran also starred in Big Love.

Robert Picardo As The Doctor

Thanks to a portable holo-emitter, The Doctor, the USS Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram, is now free to travel independently.
