Starting off, there's Rylee Alazraqui of "Home Economics" in the role of Rok-Tahk, an eight-year-old member of the Brikar species, a little-explored race of rock-skinned aliens which have been relegated to expanded universe novels up to this point. A noncorporeal Medusan named Zero will be voiced by Angus Imrie from "The Crown."

Brett Gray of "On My Block" brings some mystery to the table as Dal, an optimistic 17-year-old hailing from an unknown species. Jason Mantzoukas looks set to boldly go where no heynong man has gone before as Jankom Pog, a characteristically argumentative Tellarite. "Army of the Dead's" own Ella Purnell joins the crew as Gwyn, a Vau N'Akat from a mining planet finally headed out to see what the galaxy has up its sleeve. Rounding out the cast is veteran voice actor Dee Bradley Baker, whose IMDb profile might actually crash your browser thanks to its 625 entries, ranging from the voice of Olmec on "Legends of the Hidden Temple" to a few dozen characters in the animated "Star Wars" stories. He'll be playing Murf, a lovable blob of slime with a troubling habit of eating chunks of the ship.

While Paramount+ and Nickelodeon have yet to nail down a firm premiere date for "Star Trek: Prodigy," their newly locked-in voice cast bodes well for a proposed 2021 debut. Fans will be waiting like Temba, his arms open.
