The final movie in the trilogy, The Hidden World takes place one year after the second movie and explores the conclusion of Hiccup and Toothless' journey, as they search for a safe haven for dragons.
How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming is a short film that takes place after the events of The Hidden World. It focuses on Hiccup adjusting to life without dragons and keeping their legacy alive for the next generation.
The latest TV installment in the franchise is The Nine Realms that serves as a spinoff, set in the modern world. Taking place 1,300 years after the original movies, this Netflix original revolves around new-age teens who accidentally discover an underground world of dragons.
