London-based kids’ entertainment specialist CAKE has announced a deal with Wonderstorm for seven seasons (63 x 22’) of the critically-acclaimed animated fantasy- adventure series The Dragon Prince. The distributor will be offering the popular saga, which recently announced its crowdfunded final chapter The Dragon King, to global buyers.
Created by Wonderstorm founders Aaron Ehasz (Avatar: The Last Airbender) and Justin Richmond (Uncharted) with animation by Bardel Entertainment (Rick and Morty, Teen Titans Go!, Dinotrux and Diary of a Wimpy Kid), the series won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2020 for Outstanding Children’s Animated Series and is a top 10 show in 69 countries on Netflix.
“The Dragon Prince is a groundbreaking series that has captured audiences around the world with its epic storytelling and emotional depth,” said Dominic Gardiner, Managing Director of Distribution for CAKE. “We are thrilled to be working with Wonderstorm to bring all seven seasons to global buyers and to expand the franchise’s reach across every platform. With its universal themes of family, friendship and courage, The Dragon Prince is exactly the kind of bold, premium content CAKE is proud to champion.”
Synopsis: The Dragon Prince follows the journey of two human princes, Callum and Ezran, and an elven assassin, Rayla, who uncover a long-lost secret: the egg of the Dragon Prince, thought to have been destroyed. This discovery holds the power to end the bitter war between humans and elves, but to restore peace the trio must embark on a perilous quest, crossing the fractured human kingdoms and venturing deep into the magical lands of Xadia to return the egg to its mother, the Dragon Queen.
With themes of family, forgiveness, and the power of understanding across divides, The Dragon Prince blends humor, heart and high-stakes adventure into a sweeping saga of magic and destiny.
Aimed at 10+, young adults and family audiences, The Dragon Prince is supported by toys, books and games. The final chapter of the epic saga, The Dragon King, was announced in July through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, which reached its goal in under five hours.
“We’re so happy to partner with Ed [Galton, CEO], Dom and the entire CAKE team to bring The Dragon Prince and The Dragon King to audiences worldwide,” said Ehasz.
Richmond added, “We set out to tell a universal story, one with deep characters, epic stakes, and a core of optimism and unity. Expanding The Dragon Prince’s global reach has always been our goal, and CAKE shares our vision and has the expertise to make it a reality.”
