While waiting for the release of How To Train Your Dragon 3, Fans will be treated to The How to Train Your Dragon (HTTYD) television version, Dragons: Race to the Edge, debuting on Netflix this summer, with Hiccup's dragon riders racing beyond Berk to discover new dragon worlds.
The new series promises to bring audiences on adventures that would satisfy fans who are impatiently awaiting the theatre release of How To Train Your Dragon 3.
The thirteen episodes of the new Dragons: Race to the Edge internet television series will have a world premiere on June 26 streaming live over Netflix.
In the new original Dragons series, Hiccup and his dragon Toothless with their team of dragon riders discover an ancient artifact that will lead them out of the boundaries of their home in Berk to new lands and new dragon worlds, all the while being pursued by dragon hunters who are also interested in the Dragon Eye.
The Netflix television series is an offshoot of the Academy award-nominated HTTYD film of 2010 which told the story of Viking teenagers who found a way to co-exist with dragons, to the amazement and at times disbelief of their dragon-slaying tribe.
Dragons: Race to the Edge will feature the original voices of the movie, Jay Baruchel as the dragon riders' leader, Hiccup, America Ferrera's Astrid, Christopher Mintz-Plasse's Fishlegs, and TJ Miller's Tuffnut.
How To Train Your Dragon 3, the 2nd Dragon sequel from Dreamworks Animation and 20th Century Fox will again have the voices of Baruchel, Ferrera, Mintz-Plasse, and Miller. Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, and Kristen Wiig will rejoin the dragon riders.
Jean DeBlois writes and directs the new Dragon movie sequel which was originally scheduled for release in the summer of 2017. The new movie release schedule is on June 29, 2018, following the new Dreamworks schedule of releasing only one sequel a year.
The How To Train Your Dragon television version Dragons: Race to the Edge will be available to Netflix's some 50 million members in over 40 countries around the globe.
