As part of Netflix Geeked Week, the streaming giant has released a set of first-look photos from Season 3 of DOTA: Dragon's Blood. The next batch of episodes based on the game and diving deeper into its lore is expected to arrive on Netflix sometime this August.

　　The series was written and developed by Ashley Edward Miller (The Twilight Zone, X-Men: First Class) in collaboration with Netflix Animation and Valve. South Korean animation house Studio Mir, the co-producers of The Legend of Korra series and the 2020 film Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge, provided the show's visuals.

　　Netflix's official listing for the show describes its premise in brief: "A conflicted yet courageous Dragon Knight must use the power of the dragon within to stop a deadly demon in this epic fantasy based on the online game." Across two seasons and 16 episodes, the show has been warmly received by critics with a 75% approval rating on Metacritic from 12 reviews. The website's critics consensus reads: "While knowledge of the game isn't necessary, it might have been nice if Dota: Dragon's Blood had translated more of its narrative prowess to the small screen."

　　The show features the voices of Yuri Lowenthal, Lara Pulver, Tony Todd, and Troy Baker.
