Beyond the core film trilogy, the world of Berk has been expanded through television series that explore the interim periods between the movies. Shows like *Dragons: Riders of Berk* and *Dragons: Race to the Edge* delve deeper into the dragon riders' adventures and the discovery of new species, enriching the lore and developing secondary characters. A later series, *Dragons: The Nine Realms*, takes a significant leap forward in time, introducing a new cast of characters who rediscover dragons in the modern world, thereby extending the franchise's thematic legacy of discovery and coexistence. These extensions, along with short films and holiday specials, have transformed the initial film into a broader narrative universe, though the emotional and narrative heart remains firmly rooted in the original trilogy's complete story arc.
