LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WONDERSTORM LAUNCHES KICKSTARTER FOR THE DRAGON KING ANIMATED SERIES
Fans of The Dragon Prince Have Rare Opportunity to Gain Access, Credit, and Influence in the Production of the New Series at Select Pledge Levels

Wonderstorm, the independent multimedia studio behind the Emmy Award-winning The Dragon Prince animated series on Netflix, is launching the Kickstarter campaign for The Dragon King, a new animated series and third arc in the Dragon Prince saga, today at 9 AM Pacific time. To celebrate the launch, they have released a new trailer.

The Kickstarter will provide unprecedented access to Wonderstorm’s creative process, allowing backers to gain behind-the-scenes insights into the animation process, recording sessions, scriptwriting, and everything in between. Backers can become part of “The Dragon King Crew”, with select pledge levels offering entry into private production meetings, influence over certain creative decisions, and even on-screen producer credit, as well as exclusive crew gifts reserved for the production team.

“Over the years, the fans have been a driving force in the success of The Dragon Prince. We’ve loved meeting and hearing what the show has meant to them,” said Justin Richmond, Wonderstorm co-founder and chief creative officer. “With The Dragon King, we now have a chance to really empower that community, and give them a voice in the creation of the new series”.

First revealed at Comic-Con in San Diego, The Dragon King series will bring together voice and creative talent from three great fandoms – The Dragon Prince, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Critical Role. The Dragon King reunites voice actors Jack De Sena and Dante Basco, the voices of Sokka and Zuko, respectively, in Avatar: The Last Airbender. De Sena will be reprising his Dragon Prince role as Prince Callum, while Basco will be dramatically expanding his role as Zym, the titular Dragon King. Joining the main cast is Liam O’Brien, a fan-favorite and founding member of the long-running livestreamed RPG show, Critical Role, cast as a new character who is poised to disrupt the world order of Xadia and challenge Zym for the Dragon King title.

Conceived as a stand-alone story and set seven years after the original series, The Dragon King will see the return of many of the beloved Dragon Prince characters, now advancing into adulthood. The creators promise that the new series will have something for both loyal fans and new audiences, featuring high-octane, world-changing battles, god-like tiers of powers, and numerous complex challenges for the characters to overcome, while answering the lingering questions from Arcs One and Two.

“We’re really energized to be working with this 'supergroup’ of artistic talent on Arc Three and by the idea of including our community every step of the way,” added Aaron Ehasz, CEO and co-founder of Wonderstorm. “We are creating a series that we believe will appeal to Avatar and Critical Role fans, as well as Dragon Prince newcomers and our existing community. Every dollar contributed helps us embark on this adventure together with the ultimate goal of fulfilling our vision and bringing The Dragon King series to life.”

Fans and those new to the universe can visit the Kickstarter to learn more details, check out the exclusive digital and physical rewards, and pledge their support!. They can also join the official Discord and follow on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube.
