I believe you can buy both seasons digitally online, or as BluRay/DVD. As for streaming, Paramount retains the rights to license it as far as I know.

Right now Fandango at Home (formerly VUDU) & Amazon have each season for $6.99 for digital purchase. Part of a sale, possibly discounted elsewhere too. Season 1: athome.fandango.com/content/brow... amzn.to/3USdzqm Season 2: athome.fandango.com/content/brow... amzn.to/4rayYaq

Pictures of Dal and Gwyn, and Murf and the Protostar flying through space. Prodigy was specifically made as a kids’ show, and it’s the most grown-up of the recent Treks. It’s an excellent series, and Paramount has completely buried it for no good reason.

As far as I know Star Trek: Prodigy is the only show in the franchise that isn't streaming anywhere right now. The only way to watch is on DVD/Blu-Ray... maybe digital download? If anyone knows differently, I'd love to hear from you.

So great getting to reconnect with some of our Star Trek Prodigy family at the Gene Roddenberry Hollywood Star rededication. Happy Star Trek Day 60th Anniversary from @shawnabenson.bsky.social and me! ❤️🖖

My sister/writing partner @juliebenson.bsky.social explains why producer titles/credits matter and why it is a big deal if you are credited incorrectly... and ponders what can be done to rectify an error. (She is credited as 'consulting producer' but somehow I am correctly credited as Co-Producer)

Loved writing for this show. Don't love that my sister isn't credited properly. At least our writing credits are correct...

Some things I realized at SDCC yesterday: Some of the people with booths/tables in the exhibit hall were toddlers when I started going to SDCC 20+ years ago. 2016/2017 were our apex SDCC years (so far). I miss working in comics. Party FOMO is all gone. I like going to bed at a reasonable hour.

Shawna Benson @shawnabenson.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

It's that time again -- headed to #SDCC! No panels for us this year, but you can find @juliebenson.bsky.social and me wandering around the convention center or gaslamp over the next couple of days. If you see us, come say hi!

My sister found all the words I've lost of late, and she put them to better use than I ever could.

Another follow-up: This is not my entire library. I obtained these approx 350 books from 2 different auctions. My existing library is spread between living room shelves, office, and bedroom closet. Here's the living room bookshelf. You can't see that each row has two more stacked behind them.

Shawna Benson @shawnabenson.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

By way of clarification, I bid $5 for all the Star Trek books and won. Downside: I neglected to see that theauction was in Pennsylvania. And that these were marked 'pick up only.' I paid to have them shipped, so final cost: a lot more than $5 (but less than a buck a book)

Okay, finally got my SDCC pass. Now, what am I doing there this year?

I just learned about FAFO parenting and am seriously pondering if there is parenting that isn't that. My parents might not have said those exact words, but the ethos was ever present in my upbringing and those of pretty much everyone I knew when I was a kid. Has that changed?

I don't really understand it, but after two and a half years of streaming on Twitch, I seem to have an audience? Not really sure what has changed from January to now, but my average viewer count has been climbing steadily all year. I'm grateful to everyone who has spent time with me on stream!

I've shared tips with writers about visiting a TV/Film set but always wondered why there wasn't ONE resource I could send. So I made one. SETIQUETTE is a 58pg guide: How to read a call sheet, a who's who crew guide, what to do and NOT do on set & more. writingandwhatnot.com/blog/setique...

Internal convo: Me: Hey, Brain! Great job, waking us up with nonsense dreams about a weird funeral, two story pitches and rumination on the nature of story after 3 hours of sleep, only to have us in our phone scrolling through social media and emails for 6 solid hours! Brain: ... You're welcome?

There's a story about how these questions came up, but I'm too tired to tell it.

Shawna Benson @shawnabenson.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

3 AM question: Is writing the method of telling a story or a style of storytelling? Different people can tell the same story differently. Does writing require the physical act of transference of story to written language, or does the mental process of telling a story orally or visually also count?

Reposting to add that @juliebenson.bsky.social and I are tech avail and a BOGO deal! We've written actual scripts on actual shows! We've been to set (a lot) and sat in post! I hate to be a carnival barker, but whatever it takes to remind showrunners who are hiring that we're here and ready to work.

I'm so disconnected from the WGA MBA stuff. It's been so long since I've been on a WGA show (my last 4 gigs were TAG) I don't even have a vote, so it feels strange. Especially since before 2023, as a writing team our healthcare points were already 'devalued' since we had to earn 2x to each qualify.

Tokyo DisneySea is next level. Puts our parks to shame. The only thing that’s similar is how much my feet hurt from all the walking. @shawnabenson.bsky.social and I are having fun though.
