If there's a franchise that has been working overtime to create more mini-projects is DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda. The animation franchise began in 2008 and has since spawned short films, animated shows, TV specials, plays, video games, and soundtracks. 

The series Kung Fu Panda:The Dragon Knight landed on Netflix in July 2022 and In December 2022, the streamer announced that the show's second season would launch early this January. Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight managed 5.9 and 5.2 stars on IMDb and FilmAffinity respectively.

Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight is an action-comedy show happening several years after Kung Fu Panda 3 film (2016) and Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny animated series (2018). The show follows a massive panda (Po) that leaves his home for a quest across China to bring back order.

Po meets up with Luthera, a brown bear and strict English knight, and they embark on a journey to locate four offensive weapons that separated the world years ago.
