Isekai Fantasy Series 'Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchlings' to Deliver an Egg-uberant Good Time This Winter on HIDIVE

HOUSTON, TX — NOVEMBER 7, 2025 —This morning HIDIVE announced the upcoming series Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling as the newest addition to its slate for Winter 2026. Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling is an adaptation of the popular isekai fantasy light novel series by Nekoko and will be simulcast exclusively on the fast growing streaming platform from AMC Networks available in the U.S. and Canada as well as key overseas markets including the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. HIDIVE will present the North American premiere of Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling at Anime Frontier 2025 in advance of the series' premiere in January.

“We're excited to add the new isekai fantasy series Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling to HIDIVE's Winter 2026 line-up,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “We can't wait for fans to watch the anime adaptation and experience this long running light novel series in a whole new way. Whether you are new to isekai and fantasy or a long time fan of these genres, you will not want to miss Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling and its premiere in January!”

Our hero needs to come out of his shell... literally! Reborn in another world inside a dragon egg, he doesn't have the amazing magic or mighty physical strength of your typical isekai'd adventurer just yet. He'll need to break free and grow from a weak hatchling and into a fearsome beast if he wants to escape the deep, dark forest unscathed. What battles and adventures await him in this unique take on the isekai phenomenon?

Originally launched by Nekoko as a web novel in August 2015, the light novel series debuted in December 2015 with illustrations by NAJI yanagida and currently totals 16 volumes, with the first 12 volumes published by Earth Star Entertainment and from volume 13 thereafter published by Square Enix. The English language version of the light novel is available from Seven Seas Entertainment.

Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling is directed by Yūta Takamura and assistant Nobuyoshi Arai along with series composition by Tatsuhiko Urahata and production by Studio Felix Film.
