DreamWorks Dragons to Get Their Own Netflix Series: Race to the Edge

By Rachel Cericola

Are you ready for another round of Dragons? A new installment of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise is ready to fly, but you're going to need Netflix to take part in this ride.

The streaming service is getting ready to launch Dragons: Race to the Edge. This is the third time that the franchise has been on the small screen, but it's their maiden voyage with Netflix. Dragons: Riders of Berk and Dragons: Defenders of Berk had previously aired on the Cartoon Network.

In this original series, Hiccup and Toothless find an ancient artifact known as the Dragon Eye. This piece holds a slew of secrets about undiscovered dragons and what life is like beyond the borders of Berk. Viewers should expect plenty of action, fun, and of course, very cool, very colorful animation. You can get a little taste of all of that in the newly released trailer below.

"If the Book of Dragons is an encyclopedia, the Dragon Eye is the internet," says Doug Sloan, the show's executive producer.

Viewers will be happy to know that the show's 13 episodes will include Jay Baruchel (Hiccup), America Ferrera (Astrid), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Fishlegs), and T.J. Miller (Tuffnut) reprising their characters from the franchise. It should also have a tone and the type of action that will appeal to all ages.

"Grown-ups can watch alongside kids because the jokes are funny enough, the storytelling grand enough, and the adventure amazing enough for all ages," Sloan adds.

Dragons: Race to the Edge will start streaming on June 26, exclusively on Netflix.
