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.
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.
Conceived as a stand-alone story and set seven years after the original series, TheDragon 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.
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.
