Disney's Breakout Soccer Series Gets Renewed for Season 2,
Sets Release Window
----------------------------------------------------------
Disney's breakout soccer series is far from finished. The animated 
sports fantasy show locks down its future with a release window 
and first-look image revealed at Anime Expo.

Dragon Striker renewed for Season 2 with release window, first
look and more
Disney confirmed at Anime Expo that Dragon Striker will return for
a second season, per a press release. The animated sports fantasy
series is set to debut in early 2027 on Disney XD and Disney+.
Notably, the announcement comes just weeks after the show's
initial launch. Dragon Striker first aired on Disney XD on June 9,
2026, and new episodes then arrived on Disney+ and Hulu the
following day.

The upcoming season will feature 11 episodes, the same count as
its debut run. Disney also unveiled a first-look image during the
show's panel at the convention. The storyline will push the main
characters into much darker territory this time around.

"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," reads the official synopsis.

Akshay Kumar voices the lead character Key, while Rebecca LaChance
plays goalkeeper Ssyelle in the series. Yeukayi Ushe, Waylon Jacobs
and Evanna Lynch round out the main cast as Milo, Odward and
Ameline respectively. The entire core cast will reprise their roles
for the upcoming second season.

Kevin Penkin, known for his acclaimed work on Made in Abyss and
Star Wars: Visions, returns as series composer. An 80-piece
orchestra recorded the score in Japan specifically for the show.
Cash Callaway wrote and produced the opening theme song, Power of
the Dragon, which Sarah West performs.

French studio La Chouette Compagnie handles production alongside
Disney Television Animation for the series. Sylvain Dos Santos and
Charles Lefebvre co-created the show with Paul McKeown serving as
head writer. Every episode from the first season is currently
available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu.
