In accordance with Netflix' typical release strategy, all twenty episodes of the season will be released on the same day.TrekCore.comhas a confirmation of the show’s release schedule.
It will be a new experience forStar Trekfans, as all previousTrekseries to debut in the streaming era, starting withStar Trek: Discoveryin 2017, have released one episode a week for the duration of their seasons - typically premiering a season with two episodes at once. Netflix and Amazon Prime Video remain the only two major streamers to stick with thebinge-watching model, as streamers Max, Apple TV+, Paramount+, and Disney+ have largely used a weekly release schedule for their series. There have been exceptions, however; the Marvel Spotlight seriesEchohad all five of its episodes released on Netflix on July 18, 2025.

Star Trek: Prodigyfollows a team of young aliens - Dal (Brett Gray), Gwyn (Ella Purnell), Jankom Pog (Jason Mantzoukas), Zero (Angus Imrie), Rok-Tahk (Rylee Alazraqui), and Murf (Dee Bradley Baker) - who escape from the tyrannical Diviner (John Noble) aboard a lost Federation starship, the experimentalUSS Protostar. Guided and mentored by a holographic avatar of legendary Starfleet captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), the ragtag group races towards Federation space over the course of the first season. In the first-season finale, the Protostar, and the holographic Janeway, were destroyed, but the crew found themselves taken under the wing of the real Janeway. The second season will see the team take off on another adventure - minus Gwyn, who departed to help her people, the Vau N’Akat, seek peace.
