In an exclusive interview with MovieWeb, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth identify Prodigy as the best entry point to the franchise. No official comment on the cancellation on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon, but positive energy nevertheless.

"I think we both feel very good about Star Trek: Prodigy being a fantastic entry point because Prodigy came from the standpoint of people who don’t know the Star Trek world. The characters themselves are learning as they go what it all means to be Starfleet and be Star Trek. I think from that standpoint, for people who are feeling intimidated by 57 years by the number of shows or episodes, it is a great way to understand what Star Trek is about through the characters learning the same things themselves. I think that was one of the amazing creative decisions the Hagermans (sic) [Brothers] came up with.”
