Disney Kids & Family Renews "Dragon Striker" For A Second Season After Sucessful Early Summer Debut.

The Knights are heading for more tournaments...

Disney Kids & Family has renewed its anime-inspired series "Dragon Striker" for a second season after a sucessful launch last June. The news was shared Thursday at Anime Expo in Los Angeles during the sports fantasy series’ panel.

This marks the first time a Disney Television Animation series for a TV-Y7 audience gets renewed for a second season since "Kiff" in 2023 as the other shows that followed it ("Hailey's On It!", "Primos", "StuGo") only lasted one season.

In season two, “the Knights face broken friendships, buried secrets and ancient evil as they fight to reach the Banner’s Helm final and risk everything for victory.”

The second season will debut in early 2027 across Disney+, Hulu and Disney XD

Presenting the defenders of the Banner's helm! Disney Branded Television has announced that these exclusive "Dragon Striker" cards will be given at the Anime Expo L.A panel on July 2 at 1:30pm (room 403AB). 🐉✨⚽️🔥
