Here’s the official description:

Set 1,300 years after the events of How To Train Your Dragon, dragons are now just a legend to the modern world. When a geological anomaly opens up an immense, miles-deep fissure in the Earth’s surface, scientists from all over the world gather at a new research facility to study the mysterious phenomenon. Soon a group of misfit kids, brought to the site by their parents, uncover the truth about dragons and where they’ve been hiding — a secret they must keep to themselves to protect what they’ve discovered.

While the pitch to have mythical creatures hang around in the modern day is interesting, it’s kind of sad to think that humans and dragons were never really able to co-exist again after the events of Hidden World. With the franchise’s main theme focused on the bond between Hiccup and Toothless, it’s kind of a lackluster end to suddenly have them separated.

Though I don’t expect Hiccup to make an appearance, I’m sure he’s going to be alluded to in some way in the series. Hopefully they manage to find a way to bring Dragons back to theaters because those movies were fantasy spectacles that deserve the blockbuster budget.

Catch Dragons: The Nine Realms when it premieres on Hulu and Peacock on Dec. 23.

Check it out:

With Hidden World ending with human and dragonkind separating worlds, it looks like the sequel is going to take place generations into the future (1300 years later, to be precise), hopefully in a time where humans and dragons can co-exist once again.

We don’t have any story breakdown, but we do have a blonde dragon rider on what looks to be a descendant of Toothless. I guess the series really leaned in on the dragons acting like cats, and they have this new night fury patterned after a modern house cat. Besides that, we have some modern buildings and windmills.

So far, the only cast member revealed for the show is Jeremy Shada (Adventure Time), and the showrunner will be John Tellegen. While I’m expecting a whole bunch of human characters to appear, we should also expect a new variety of dragons to make their debut in the show as well. Hopefully we can even see how the story of Hiccup ends, because it’s kind of tragic to think that he and Toothless never got to reunite with each other after The Hidden World.

Dragons: The Nine Realms comes to Hulu and Peacock on Dec. 23.
