Star Trek: Prodigy is live! The first episode is a double-length (46min) episode. "Lost & Found". You'll need Paramount+ to watch it in the US. I assume Crave in Canada. No idea about its distribution elsewhere. I know the plan is to have it air on Nickelodeon in a month or two, so there's always that. (The P+ version retains the Nick branding, even.)
One premier in and so far... this episode was AWESOME. Just freaking incredible all around. I know I'm an easy mark for anything Star Trek, but this was just unabashedly good. The characters were likable, the scenario interesting and fun, and the show itself is just drop dead gorgeous. I was afraid it would be a little to kiddy, but it's very much an all-ages kind of deal where parents will love watching it with their kids, and kidless adults can enjoy it by themselves without any problems.
I can't wait to see where the show goes from here. We're really being spoiled right now. This is beginning to feel legitimately like a new Golden Age for Star Trek and it's just wonderful.
Edit: The double-length first episode is now free to watch on youtube:
