Finally – a Release Date! New episodes of the Emmy Award-winning animated series, created by Aaron Ehasz and Justin Richmond, return to Netflix July 27.
Multimedia studio Wonderstorm has shared a new clip for Season 5 of Netflix’s hugely popular animated series The Dragon Prince, created by Aaron Ehasz (head writer and co-executive producer of Avatar: The Last Airbender and former League of Legends creative director) and Justin Richmond (game director of Uncharted 3). The new season finally has a release date – it hits the streamer July 27.
One of the fastest-growing franchises in family entertainment, The Dragon Prince debuted in September 2018; in 2020, Netflix took the unusual step of renewing the series for four additional seasons. With this multi-season renewal, Netflix committed to fully realizing the creators’ vision as the story unfolds over seven seasons.
Regarding the renewal (and news of a game in development as well), last November, Ehasz told AWN, “We set out wanting to build something that was really epic. We have an awesome team and a lot of great minds and artists coming together to build out a world and not only a story, but an experience in the game that we'll talk more about at some point in future. And it's this big ball of momentum now. There's a lot of energy to coordinate. But it's exciting to have all that energy and imagination and creativity together building the world of Xadia.”
