The Dragon Prince is set to return for its third season on Netflix, as the renewal announcement was confirmed during the WonderCon in Anaheim, California. The animated series is created by Justin Richmond (director of Uncharted 3) and Aaron Ehasz (head writer of Avatar: The Last Airbender), and it was welcomed by many for the past two seasons. Now that it was confirmed, what can fans expect on The Dragon Prince season 3?
The first installment arrived on Netflix on September 14, 2018, while the second one premiered on February 15th. Wonderstorm produced The Dragon Prince and the visual and the story were put together by Bardel Entertainment. The finale of season 2 left fans with many questions, such as Ezran's mental connection to Zym, the identity of Aaravos, and what are the Sunfire Elves intentions.
As for the third season, Comicbook reported The Dragon Prince season 3 would consist of nine episodes. The release date was not yet announced, but many speculated the upcoming installment would arrive sometime in summer. Rumors also suggest it might be coming back late summer or early fall of this year. But then, these were just all speculations, so fans need to wait until the official release date is announced.
Although it's still unknown when The Dragon Prince season 3 will arrive, the synopsis of the upcoming installment was already revealed. As reported by Comicbook, the third season shows that Callum and Rayla are at the cusp of entering Xadia. Young Ezran, on the other hand, returns home and will take his place on the throne. As for Lord Viren, he started to realize the power and influence of his new ally - Aaravos, a mysterious startouch elf. The synopsis also added various storylines would unfold in "big ways" and the third season will be "massively epic."
Meanwhile, Ehasz talks about his hopes for the animated series before the first season premiered. He said they were hoping the fandom will find The Dragon Prince, especially since Wonderstorm is a new company and the series is their first big story they're trying to bring to viewers. He also shares his experience working with Netflix, saying the culture at the company is a very "creator-driven culture." Ehasz said they were always giving them ideas and contributed on how to shape the story of The Dragon Prince, and added Netflix is always supportive and giving them freedom - rather than restricting them.
