DreamWorks Dragons Riders of Berk Debuts on Teletoon
Teletoon is set to host DreamWorks Dragon: Riders of Berk, a bold spin-off from the beloved How to Train Your Dragon film, premiering on November 3. The new series carries high expectations and aims to honor the film’s legacy while expanding the world of Berk and its dragon riders. Viewers can anticipate the same blend of adventure, humor, and heart that made the film a favorite, now delivered through a television format that invites families to join the journey from start to finish.
Riders of Berk continues the story after the film, bringing fans back to an island where dragon trainers face fresh challenges and must learn to work with their own dragons. Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, and other original voices return to reprise their roles, anchoring the series in continuity and character. The voice cast delivers familiar warmth while welcoming new performers who add texture to Berk’s dragon-filled world.
The series follows Hiccup and his dragon Toothless as they lead a group of trainers across Berk. They discover unique powers in dragons, confront villains, and explore new realms. The dynamic blends humor, heroism, and the thrill of flight to keep audiences engaged, offering both the comfort of familiarity and the excitement of fresh discoveries in every episode.
Episode one, How to Start a Dragon Academy, sets the tone as Hiccup is tasked with introducing dragons to Berk. He must restore calm when his friends stir tension with the village elder, highlighting leadership, diplomacy, and the responsibility that comes with guiding a community toward harmony with its dragons.
Viewers will enjoy two back-to-back episodes on Saturday, November 3 at 8 p.m. on Teletoon, immediately following a special airing of How to Train Your Dragon. Beginning November 8, the show settles into a regular slot on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., inviting families to tune in weekly for new adventures with their favorite Vikings and their loyal dragon partners.
