Could Star Trek: Prodigy Give Us More of the Janeway and Chakotay Romance?

Dan Hageman, co-showrunner of Prodigy, discusses the early conceptions of the present and that when it was determined they’d be utilizing Janeway they zeroed in on what was essential to her.

“What does she care about?” Dan Hageman says, “She cares about Chakotay. When (we) had that need, it put every part into focus.”

After ‘A Ethical Star Half 2’ aired we requested each Dan and Kevin Hageman, co-showrunner of Prodigy, if the twist ending of that episode is a sign that the present might return to the Janeway/Chakotay romance. Dan Hageman remained tight lipped, merely saying “we might be shot lifeless if we had been to reply that query” however Kevin Hageman provides a extra tantalizing reply.

“Understanding our 40 episodes (we’ve written), this actually does really feel like the following chapter for Janeway and Chakotay. There’s an evolution from what you already know from Voyager and it continues to develop and deepen.”
