Battle lines are drawn, and it’s clear early on that we’re in for a dramatic and (at least for now) conclusive conflict. Ultimately, the team continued their work on the series, which now expands beyond the scope of the show.Īlong with the four-season pickup, the franchise is set to expand with the upcoming release of Through the Moon (The Dragon Prince Graphic Novel #1), a canon, original story set between seasons 3 and 4, and the newly announced Tales of Xadia, a tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of the series.Ī premiere date for season 4, which is currently in pre-production, has yet to be determined.While The Dragon Prince Season 2 slowed down the pace of the overall story to focus on developing its secondary cast, with Season 3, things have really picked up speed. In the wake of that conversation, no formal action was taken against Ehasz, though Wonderstorm could not confirm if there was an internal investigation of the matter.

If they didn’t, there were book deals with Scholastic and possible interactive options on the table, but the idea was to complete the “saga” in animation.Īnd now it’s a sealed deal: At the 2020 San Diego Comic-Con panel for the series, Ehasz announced that Netflix had renewed The Dragon Prince for four additional seasons.Īccording to a follow-up news release, The Dragon Prince seasons 4 through 7 will each have nine episodes, and work has already begun on the new batch.

But there was always more to the story - seven planned seasons, to be exact - and it was always the hope of co-creators Aaron Ehasz and Justin Richmond that Netflix might take them there. The Dragon Prince season 3 could have been the end, with Callum and Rayla coming together with a flicker of romance, and a major fight for Xadia’s future won by the good guys.
