Dreamworks and the streaming giant are teaming up for an original series that acts as a follow up to the award winning animated films, reports the Verge. Entitled Race to the Edge, the show will focus on Hiccup, the hero of the two movies, and his friends’ discovery of a mystical ancient artifact known as the Dragon Eye. The series, which is the second cartoon based on the franchise, will debut on Netflix on June 26.
