Star Trek: Prodigy has returned for the second half of Season 1, and what an episode it was! Dal and the Protostar crew managed to get their first taste of Starfleet, and longtime fans were treated to their first new Chakotay and Janeway scene in decades. The two Voyager characters shared a brief scene via Vice Admiral Janeway’s hologram replay, so what’s next for the characters down the road? CinemaBlend has some answers thanks to actress Kate Mulgrew and Prodigy showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman.

00:00 obviously big Voyager fan.
00:02 And these new episodes are giving us our first looks
00:04 at Chakotay and Janeway since Voyager.
00:07 We're getting real updates and stuff.
00:09 And you've been fielding questions
00:11 on these characters for decades.
00:13 Is it exciting to finally be able to give people
00:15 some fresh answers for once?
00:16 And do you think they're going to be happy
00:18 with the stuff coming up about Janeway and Chakotay?
00:21 - Oh, they're going to be very happy.
00:23 First of all, qualitatively, they can't be happier.
00:27 The quality of this thing is sky high.
00:29 Kevin and Dan Hageman have seen to that.
00:32 I think they will be very pleased with what happens
00:36 between Vice Admiral Janeway and Chakotay.
00:38 I'm not going to give you a spoiler.
00:40 I mean, I can't do any of that, but as you well know,
00:43 it is a relationship of great importance
00:46 and significance to Janeway.
00:48 So when she feels that she has lost anyone like that,
00:51 let alone Chakotay, her first, you know,
00:54 that was her second in command,
00:58 she has an investment of great personal importance.
01:03 So we're going to see that really brought to bear
01:07 on these episodes and what she feels
01:11 when she feels she may have lost,
01:13 what she feels when she feels she may have won,
01:16 and what she feels when she feels
01:18 it can all disappear in a moment.
01:21 - We can say that it will not be resolved in season one.
01:26 I mean, I think that's all we can say.
01:29 - The good thing is it keeps going into season two.
01:32 And we promise that we will deliver the goods.
01:35 We're not just going to tease people and just frustrate them.
01:38 That would be terrible on our part to do, right?
01:42 But I think we're going to embrace what the next chapter is
01:45 between these two characters.
01:46 And a lot of the fans are very divided
01:48 about what they want to see happen
01:51 with Janeway and Chakotay.
01:53 And I feel like we in the writers room
01:57 really discussed it a lot.
01:59 We discussed it with Kate and Robert.
02:04 And we feel like we came to a wonderful place
02:08 that we're really excited to share.
02:10 But know that it's a season one and season two arc.
