The fan-favorite animated series The Dragon Prince is returning for its fourth season in late July 2024. After a long wait without many updates between now and season 5, released last year, it’s been agonizing.
As confirmed by the new trailer released on The Dragon Prince YouTube channel, season 6 will drop on Netflix in full on July 26th, 2024.
The trailer teases multiple upcoming storylines for the forthcoming season (consisting of another 9 episodes. Soren and Corvus appear to be involved in a storyline surrounding Zubeia, as they are seen with Zym amidst a mushroom-filled setting, suggesting they are near Mukho, who was healing Zubeia at the end of season 5. A potential threat looms over Katolis, indicated by Ezran standing with his guards in the rain outside the castle, possibly foreshadowing Claudia and Terry’s attempt to seize the pearl to free Aaravos. A poignant scene with Janai in tears raises concerns for Amaya’s fate, though it could also relate to her people. Rayla’s acrobatic escape from a burning wooden building might hint at a return to Banther Lodge, though this is speculative.
The trailer teases Aaravos’s return, with Claudia likely playing a role in his release.
Developed by Wonderstorm, The Dragon Prince began its life on Netflix in September 2018. Each season of the show has been dubbed as a book with a different title. The first three seasons are grouped as a saga (or phase) called The Dragon Prince; the next three seasons are known as Mystery of Aaravos with the final phase/saga yet to be revealed.
As a reminder of the books so far:
- Season 1 / Book 1: Moon
- Season 2 / Book 2: Sky
- Season 3 / Book 3: Sun
- Season 4 / Book 4: Earth
- Season 5 / Book 5: Ocean
- Season 6 / Book 6: Stars
Over the course of the last few months, the team behind the show has slowly been teasing the upcoming season, titled Book 6: Stars, revealing the episode titles of the nine new episodes:
- Episode 1 – Startouched
- Episode 2 – Love, War & Mushrooms
- Episode 3 – The Frozen Ship
- Episode 4 – The Starscraper

In addition, several posters have been released, starting with the one revealed at Geeked Week late last year when Netflix confirmed that the new season would drop at some point in 2024.
The animated series won’t be the only animated title coming up in July 2024. We’ve also learned that Star Trek: Prodigy will return with its second season on July 1st, 2024.
