What happens in The Dragon Prince season 6?
Season 6 of the series sees several crucial plot and character elements of the series coming to a head. The romance between Callum and Rayla develops further. Callum also tries to destroy the pearl containing Aaravos by making a duplicate of it and destroying the original. However, his plan fails.
Claudia’s journey takes a dark turn as she starts helping Aaravos in a bid to extend the life of her father, Viren. She is loyal to her father, irrespective of anything. However, Viren himself is full of remorse for the misdeeds he carried out in the past.
The finale of season 6 shows Aaravos being freed from his pearl prison through a ritual that Claudia performs. As a result, he goes to Xadia after centuries of imprisonment. The Dragon Prince season 7 will have to deal with the consequences of the same.

What to expect from The Dragon Prince season 7?
Season 6 shows the tragic backstory of Aaravos. It shows how his daughter was forcibly taken away from him and given a death sentence for giving human beings the power of magic. Since then, Aaravos has been living only to exact revenge.
This revelation complicates the viewers’ perception of Aaravos. The Dragon Prince season 7 could delve deeper into this past and how it comes to affect the present.
Further, the upcoming season could also give the story of Claudia a closure. Additionally, the relationship between Callum and Rayla might reach a pleasant end. However, a showdown between the good and evil forces might be in order before that.
All seasons of The Dragon Prince are available for streaming on Netflix.
