Netflix has provided The Dragon Prince fans with an update on Season 4 of the popular animated series.The update was released on Twitter and cited the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as one of many factors that has affected production. "While the pandemic has impacted the process at every level, the reality is that productions of this scale always take a lot of time," the official statement began. "We're writing the story and scripts, assembling the production team and developing other new, exciting areas of Xadia for you to explore."
While an official date for Season 4 was not revealed, The Dragon Prince has other related projects in the work. A tabletop game, The Dragon Prince: Tales of Xadia is being developed in collaboration with Fandom. A novel is also in the works, and "canon stories" as well as behind-the-scenes and sneak peeks of Season 4 have been promised. Netflix thanked fans for their patience and concluded that it hoped to release more information at San Diego Comic-Con or New York Comic-Con later this year.
The Dragon Prince had previously released a prose novel titled Moon, as well as the graphic novel Through The Moon, which leads into the events of Season 4. The series was also renewed for four additional seasons during last year's Comic-Con event.
Created by Aaron Ehasz and Justin Richmond and featuring the voices of Jack DeSena as Callum, Sasha Rojen as Ezran, Paula Burrows as Rayla, Jesse Inocalla as Soren, Racquel Belmonte as Claudia, Luc Roderique as King Harrow of Katolis and Jason Simpson as Viren, the first three seasons of The Dragon Prince are available now on Netflix.
