Kate Mulgrew is reprising her performance as Capt. Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager, as a hologram who helps teach the new, young crew how to navigate the cosmos. The animated series is executive produced by Kevin Hageman, and Dan Hageman, with Ben Hibon directing and co-executive producing. Star Trek: Prodigy is co-produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and CBS Eye Animation Productions.
