Disney’s “Dragon Striker” Renewed For A Second Season
Last month, Disney released a brand new animated series, “Dragon Striker” on Disney+ around the world, which is set in a world where sports and magic combine. Farm boy Key discovers his ultrapowerful natural talent and learns he could be the legendary Dragon Striker. Set at Kal Asterock, an elite school for students who possess extraordinary abilities, Key joins goalkeeper Ssyelle on a scrappy new team to challenge the school champions. As he struggles with the raging dragon inside him and Ssyelle fights to hold her team together, they learn dark secrets of the past and uncover an ancient evil.
Disney has announced at the Anime Expo that it has renewed the show for a second season, which will arrive in early 2027 across Disney XD and Disney+.
In the second season, the Knights face broken friendships, buried secrets and ancient evil as they fight to reach the Banner’s Helm final and risk everything for victory.
A first look image from the second season has also been revealed:
The series stars Akshay Kumar (Key), Rebecca LaChance (Ssyelle), Yeukayi Ushe (Milo), Waylon Jacobs (Odward) and Evanna Lynch (Ameline).
Award-winning Kevin Penkin (“Made in Abyss,” “Star Wars: Visions”) is the series composer. The score was recorded in Japan with an 80-piece orchestra. The theme song, “Power of the Dragon,” was written and produced by Cash Callaway and performed by Sarah West. The end credits song, “The Very End,” was written and performed by Kieran Rhodes.
From Disney Kids & Family, the series is produced by La Chouette Compagnie (“Droners” and the upcoming “Dreamland”) in association with Disney Television Animation. The lead creative team, who have worked on numerous animated adventure series in France, Japan and the U.S., includes industry-renowned talent Sylvain Dos Santos (co-creator/executive producer), Charles Lefebvre (co-creator/director) and Paul McKeown (head writer).
All episodes of the first season are now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
Roger’s Take: It’s great to see Disney is already committed to a new season of “Dragon Striker” and, hopefully, this series can pull in more viewers over the next six months, as audiences discover the show and are able to get excited for the new season. It’s also great to see this show is being created by an international team, which makes it stand out from the standard Disney animated shows.
