"The Game," "Star Trek: Prodigy," "Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies," and "Queen of the Universe" are all, in fact, being removed from the service as they prepare for the launch of the Showtime option Tuesday (27)... at least two of these are being shopped to other platforms...

If I may put in my Trekkie hat for a moment, Prodigy wasn’t a bad series, but its intent was to serve as a gateway to draw more kids to Trek, and I don’t know how successful it actually was at that. Additionally, now that the Picard series has sunsetted, there’s a chance of furthering the adventures of the Voyager and DS9 casts, and Prodigy had already given character updates to Chakotay and Janeway which, if canonical, puts limits on live-action adaptations.

Prodigy was rare for 21st century Trek in that it was regularly broadcast, if only on Nickelodeon.
There's also a second season for Prodigy that is in post-production. As Trekkies will still buy (at least I do) these programs on DVD/Blu-ray, I wouldn't be surprised if that second season is either streamed somewhere else or released on physical media, or both.
Best,
David
