Streaming service Paramount Plus releases the fifth episode of the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy, created by Dan & Kevin Hageman. Though originally intended to run concurrently with Star Trek: Discovery’s fourth season, the series goes on hiatus after this episode in order to allow post-production to catch up, with many elements of production having reverted to remote work due to a surge of a new variant of COVID-19. It is the first time since May 1999 that two Star Trek series have aired new episodes in the same week.
