Prodigy season 2 came out in July 2024. How is it winning awards in 2026?
So this is a weird one.
The 4th Children’s and Family Emmy Awards… eligibility period ran from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, mirroring that of the Primetime Emmy Awards.
The issue is that the most recent Primetime Emmy Awards show happened back in September 2025.
For some reason the Children’s and Family awards happen about 6 months later.
These are the 2025 Emmy awards.
Not sure why a July 2024 release didn’t meet the cut off date for that year’s awards. Perhaps since the Emmys were originally for a standard September to June television broadcast schedule, July streaming releases get bumped to the next year.
I’m so very glad to see that Prodigy’s excellence continues to get the acknowledgment it deserves from within the creative community.
This Individual Achievement award is determined by the animators’ guild not an open Emmy vote. Having the winner for each of the show’s two seasons demonstrates the respect the work has within the animation community.
