DreamWorks Dragons will land on Netflix in June with all new episodes

By Christine Persaud Published April 14, 2015

Netflix has announced the kids series DreamWorks Dragons: Race to the Edge is set to premiere June 26. The streaming service will soon become the exclusive home to all new seasons of the animated TV show DreamWorks Dragons, which is based on the popular DreamWorks Animation How To Train Your Dragon movie franchise.

Starting in June, kids will be able to catch up with Hiccup, Toothless, and their friends from the Island of Berk. The idea behind the television show is the bridge the gap between the first movie, released in 2010 and featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel (This is the End), Gerard Butler (300), America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), and Craig Ferguson (The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson), and the second flick, which hits theater last summer.

The series will allow fans to explore deeper into the dragon lore, with more details and a larger narrative than what is possible to be achieved in a feature film. The new story follows the gang of dragons and dragon riders as they set out to unlock the secrets of the mysterious Dragon Eye, and face “more dragons than anyone has ever imagined.”

Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera will continue to provide the voices for the two young Viking heroes, Hiccup and Astrid, for the series’ 13 new episodes. Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) and TJ Miller (Silicon Valley) will also reprise their roles as Fishlegs and Tuffnut.

Art Brown and Douglas Sloan will serve as showrunners on DreamWorks Dragons, and say that working on the franchise has been “incredible.”

“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.”

Netflix Vice President of Original Content Cindy Holland says the streaming service, which already has quite a large and growing selection of children’s programming, is “happy to be adding Dragons to our growing slate of original series for kids. This is one of DreamWorks Animation’s most beloved set of characters, and we know that kids and families will be enjoying them for years to come.”

This wild new TV mount moves your screen without you touching it

TVs can already adjust their picture and sound without much help from you. Perlegear now wants the physical screen to adapt to you as well.

Indoors, Interior Design, Lamp

TVs have become incredibly smart over the years. They can automatically tweak picture quality, adjust sound for your room, and recommend what you should watch next. Yet once you bolt one to the wall, there’s one decidedly old-fashioned thing about it: it’s staying exactly where you put it.

Perlegear has an interesting solution at IFA 2026. The company is showing off the AX1 Smart Adaptive Mount, a motorized TV mount that detects where you’re watching from and automatically moves the television to a more comfortable height. It’s an idea that sounds a little excessive until you think about how many different ways we use TVs today. You might be sitting on the couch for a movie, standing up for a workout, playing a motion-controlled game, or have kids watching from the floor. The ideal screen position for one isn’t necessarily great for the others.

A 120-inch screen from 8 inches away? XGIMI just made it happen

XGIMI has unveiled its new AURA 3 Series at IFA 2026, led by a 4K projector that can throw a massive 120-inch picture from just 8 inches away.

Indoors, Interior Design, Electronics

Getting a 120-inch screen into your living room usually sounds like a project that requires a lot of space, careful planning, and perhaps a very understanding partner. XGIMI's latest projectors want to make that considerably easier.

Announced at IFA 2026, the new XGIMI AURA 3 Series consists of the AURA 3 Pro and flagship AURA 3 Max. Both are ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors designed to sit close to a wall rather than across the room. With the Max, you can get a 120-inch picture with the projector sitting just 8 inches away. That's already useful if you don't want a projector dangling from your ceiling, but XGIMI has packed in plenty of home theater hardware to make the resulting giant picture worth looking at.
