I look forward to them, so thanks for the update. Take your time.

Not sure your country of origin, but in the U.S. it has all 13 theatrical films + Section 31, as well as Woman in Motion and Building Star Trek.
It's the same dumb cycle that's happened with every new Trek show since TNG (and probably TAS). It's tiresome, but at least it's predicable, I guess? Just ignore the obligatory backlash and see how it turns out.
I love Prodigy, but I've seen people struggle to get past the first episode. If someone's coming in reluctantly it's not where I'd start.
I've shown this as a first episode (or at least first 2-3 episodes) and it hasn't been an issue. If you're sitting with them you can explain significant items, but generally they get enough without much help.
Great episode, but I'd argue it doesn't really give a new viewer much of a feel of what Star Trek is. Probably works better when you have a few episodes of TNG already under your belt.
Might be worth showing him the first episode of Lower Decks then. Or "Temporal Edict" is another strong early episode that's still fairly introductory and really gives a lot of the Star Trek vibes about being capable and ethical while still showing it as a fun time.
They've retracted the comment.
"The premiere date for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S3 was given to one of our members in error and is incorrect. Apologies for the inconvenience caused. We share your excitement and can't wait for the 3rd season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to premiere."
Though it could still be accurate and they're just doing damage control. Maybe we'll find out for First Contact Day?
To clarify, Melumad does the incidental music in Prodigy, but the theme is by Michael Giacchino. He also scored, among many other things, the three Kelvin Timeline films, so he probably brings that "cinematic" feel you're describing.
Melumad does occasionally integrate part of Giacchino's Kelvin Timeline themes. For example, I want to say it appears toward the beginning of Prodigy 1x11.
Westlake is great, but so is Nami Melumad (who does the music for Strange New Worlds and Prodigy), so I'm absolutely not behind a call to have her fired, whether that call is meant to be tongue-in-cheek or not.

She's definitely missed.
Incidentally, sounds like you might appreciate this podcast if you aren't into it already. I've heard it mentioned a few times, though to be honest I haven't given it a listen myself yet. (I'm behind on too many podcasts already to add another one at the moment.)
