The newly released first look teases a darker and more emotional journey as the Knights prepare for their biggest challenge yet.
Season 2 Story
According to Disney, the official synopsis reads:
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.

Award-Winning Music Returns
One of the standout elements of Dragon Striker has been its cinematic soundtrack, and Season 2 continues that tradition.
Award-winning composer Kevin Penkin, known for his work on Made in Abyss and Star Wars: Visions, returns to compose the score. The music was recorded in Japan with an impressive 80-piece orchestra, giving the series an epic and emotional musical backdrop.
The opening theme, “Power of the Dragon,” was written and produced by Cash Callaway and performed by Sarah West.
Meanwhile, the ending theme, “The Very End,” was written and performed by Kieran Rhodes, adding another emotional layer to the series.
The Creative Team Behind the Adventure
Produced by Disney Kids & Family, Dragon Striker is created by La Chouette Compagnie, the animation studio behind Droners and the upcoming Dreamland, in association with Disney Television Animation.
The series is led by an experienced international creative team that has worked across France, Japan, and the United States, including:
- Sylvain Dos Santos – Co-Creator & Executive Producer
- Charles Lefebvre – Co-Creator & Director
- Paul McKeown – Head Writer
Their combined experience continues to shape the show’s unique blend of fantasy, action, and heartfelt storytelling.
