Synopsis[]
The Dragon King is a new animated epic fantasy series that brings together the visionary creatives behind 3 incredible fandoms (The Dragon Prince, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Critical Role).
On the cusp of vanishing into legend, the last of the Archdragons — the young Dragon King, Zym — wields his great power to forge a fragile peace in Xadia. But when a forsaken and forgotten Dragon Prince returns from the shadows of exile, Zym uncovers a truth long buried: the throne he inherited may not have been his to claim. And the true heir has come to take it back.
The Dragon King is an ALL NEW story that welcomes an all new audience. We have formed this artistic “supergroup” to craft a truly extraordinary new adult animated series. You can expect world-class, iconic storytelling from this dream team: epic, dangerous, and complex. But it cannot happen without you. This new series already has some serious star power lined up. Jack De Sena will be reprising his Dragon Prince role as Callum (Sokka in Avatar: The Last Airbender), and Dante Basco (Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender) will be dramatically expanding his role as Zym in The Dragon King. Liam O’Brien (Critical Role) is joining the main cast as a new character, who is poised to disrupt the world order of Xadia completely.

Trivia[]
- Prior to being repurposed, The Dragon King was originally planned to be the third arc of The Dragon Prince series before it was decided to have it changed into an independent sequel series.
- While the series is an independent sequel to its predecessor, it is still deemed by the community (and even by the Wonderstorm crew) as the third arc of The Dragon Prince saga.[1]
