Dragon Striker, Brand New Series Coming Soon To Disney Channel Across Italy, Spain And Africa

Set in the world of Asteria, Dragon Striker centers on a high-stakes magical sport called Gorotama—a five-a-side, soccer-like game enhanced with fantastical powers. The story follows Key, a 12-year-old farm boy who dreams of playing Gorotama at the elite school Kal Asterock, despite lacking magical abilities. That changes when he discovers a hidden connection to his late mother, a legendary champion known as the Dragon Striker.

Key’s journey introduces him to Ssyelle, a gifted player who can slow time and becomes a core part of the newly reformed team known as the Knights. Other teammates include Milo (who controls jelly), Oddward (who can duplicate himself), and the mysterious Ameline (who drains tamas). Standing in their way are rival squads like the Bards, Roses, Shadows, and the fearsome Dragons, led by Key’s new rival, Ragno.

The series, created and produced by Sylvain Dos Santos, will be directed by Charles Lefebvre from screenplays by writer Paul McKeown. Cyber Group Studios and La Chouette Compagnie produce for Disney EMEA.

Charles Lefebvre, the show's co-creator who also co-founded Chouette after working at its parent La Chouette Co., had worked on anime such as “My Hero Academia” and “One Piece”.

Originally set for a release in 2024, a preview of the new series was made available at the 2025 Annecy Animation Festival in France. The 22 20-minute episodes, will now on Disney Channel feeds across Spain, Italy and Africa from June 10th, and will also be streaming on Disney+.
