Paramount+ and Nickelodeon’s first Trek series created for kids, “Star Trek: Prodigy,” has set its full voice cast with six names set to join Kate Mulgrew reprising her role of “Star Trek: Voyager” lead Kathryn Janeway.
The new cast members are as follows with all, bar Mulgrew, playing alien characters:
Dee Bradley Baker (“SpongeBob SquarePants”) as Murf, an endearing, indestructible blob with curiously good timing and an insatiable appetite for ship parts.
Ella Purnell (“Army of the Dead”) as Gwyn, a 17-year-old Vau N’Akat and wannabe explorer raised on her father’s bleak mining planet.
Jason Mantzoukas (“Infinite”) as Jankom Pog, a 16-year-old argumentative Tellarite who will always play devil’s advocate.
Angus Imrie (“The Crown”) as Zero, an energy-based lifeform known as a Medusan who wears a containment suit to protect others from going mad if they see Zero’s true form.
Rylee Alazraqui (“Home Economics”) as Rok-Tahk, an animal-loving and unusually bright eight-year-old female Brikar.
Brett Gray (“On My Block”) as Dal, a teenager from an unknown species who fancies himself a maverick.
In the series, these six young characters end up commandeering an abandoned Starfleet vessel and must learn how to operate it in order to survive, with Janeway serving as their guide as the ship’s emergency training hologram.
The series was developed by Kevin and Dan Hageman (“Trollhunters,” “Ninjago”) who are serving as the showrunners and executive producers. Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Katie Krentz, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth are executive producing.
