The head writer ofAvatar: The Last Airbenderteaming up with Netflix to create a fantasy animated series sounds like a match made in heaven. We would followAaron Ehaszanywhere — and after the success ofVoltron: Legendary Defender, also fromThe Last Airbenderalumni, Netflix seemed like a perfect home for him.

The Dragon Prince Trailer
The firstThe Dragon Princetrailer comes as a bit of a shock to usAvatar: The Last Airbenderfans, who were expecting a series animated in the style of the beloved Nickelodeon series. After all, the reason it was so easy to watchVoltronwas because the series, and the characters, were so closely modeled onThe Last AirbenderandThe Legend of Korra. ButThe Dragon Princebucks expectations with a 3D animation style — mixed with cel shading and a reduced frame rate to resemble traditional animation — that is both a little jarring and fascinating.
But the series does seem to live up to itshigh fantasy promise. Set in a world of warring kingdoms,The Dragon Princefollows two princes, Callum (voiced by Jack De Sena) and Ezran (Sasha Rojen), who find themselves on a journey together to bring peace to their lands. And they are united by an unlikely figure: Rayla (Paula Burrows), an Elven assassin who was tasked with killing the princes to keep the lands in perpetual war.
The trailer paints an intriguing picture of the series, which promises to be jam-packed with adventure, battles, and plenty of dragons — though I’m still not quite sure how they play a role just yet. ButThe Dragon Princelooks like the perfect series for fantasy fans, and for those who are still dearly missingAvatar: The Last Airbender.
Here is the synopsis toThe Dragon Prince:
