Based on DreamWorks Animation’s hit How to Train Your Dragon films, the episodes bridge the gap between the first feature film and the sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2, which hit theaters in the summer of 2014.

Weaving a continuous storyline, the television series works in tandem with the feature films and DVD specials, allowing fans to delve deeper into dragon lore. From the origin of Hiccup’s new flight suit and the secrets of his dragon blade to the young Viking’s budding romance with Astrid, DreamWorks Dragons on Netflix gives viewers rich details of the larger narrative with the introduction of new dragons, exotic places and worlds unknown.

Race to the Edge consists of 6 seasons with 13 episodes each, adding to a total of 78 new episodes. They take place between Defenders of Berk and How to Train Your Dragon 2.

Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera who voice the two young Viking heroes in the feature film return to the television series to voice Hiccup and Astrid, and are joined by Christopher Mintz-Plasse and TJ Miller who will reprise their roles as Fishlegs and Tuffnut in the series.

“The How to Train Your Dragon franchise has been incredible to work with,” said Art Brown and Douglas Sloan, showrunners on DreamWorks Dragons. "There is so much rich material available to us in the TV world that we can really dig in and create a different yet complementary experience to the feature films."

Wondercon Anaheim featured a panel hosting an exclusive sneak peek of the 1st season on April 5th, 2015, along with other DreamWorks shows featured on Netflix.

Trivia

  • Race to the Edge would over time introduce a number of inconsistencies with the films it's meant to expand upon. This in turn would cause it to become the most controversial media to date in the Film Franchise.
  • In the Scottish Gaelic dub on BBC Alba (and hence iPlayer), the series is called "Dràgonan: Rèis chun an iomaill".
  • Most of the episodes’ names are puns or references.
  • This series is one of the series that is a part of DreamWorks Animation's deal with Netflix for providing over 300 hours of content to the streaming service.
  • This is the last media where T.J. Miller voices Tuffnut, possibly due to his criminal record including him faking a bomb threat in 2018 (the same year of the final season, and coincidentally, on Jay Baruchel's birthday), so, therefore, he was replaced and redubbed by Justin Rupple in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.
  • Alfred Molina, who voices Viggo, also starred with Jay Baruchel in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Coincidentally, the film premiered the same year as How to Train Your Dragon, and Molina also played the villain, Maxim Horvath.
