Excitement Builds: 'How to Train Your Dragon' Live Action Sequel Set for 2027 Release

Still from the film 'How to Train Your Dragon'

Universal's live-action adaptation of DreamWorks Animation's beloved How to Train Your Dragon hasn't yet hit cinemas (it’s set to premiere on June 13), but the studio is so enthusiastic about its potential that it has already greenlit a sequel.

Dean DeBlois, the creative mind behind both the animated and live-action franchises, announced this exciting news on Wednesday during Universal's presentation at CinemaCon, revealing a release date of June 11, 2027. Following this announcement, he handed over to Universal’s 43-piece orchestra, conducted by Ricky Minor, who performed Scottish music from the new film’s score.

A sneak peek of How to Train Your Dragon was showcased this morning at CinemaCon.

The animated trilogy directed by DeBlois has amassed an impressive $1.65 billion at the global box office and has received four Oscar nominations. DeBlois returns as director, writer, and producer for the live-action adaptation.
