ISEKAI Fantasy Series “Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling” to Deliver an Egg-uberant Good Time This Winter on HIDIVE
North American Premiere Screening Planned for Anime Frontier 2025
HIDIVE announced the upcoming series Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling as the latest addition to its Winter 2026 streaming lineup. Based on the popular isekai fantasy light novel series by Nekoko, the anime will stream exclusively on HIDIVE, available in the U.S., Canada, and key overseas markets including the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Before its official January premiere, HIDIVE will present the North American premiere of the first episode at Anime Frontier 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas.
A Shell of a Hero
“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’re new to isekai or a long-time fan, you won’t want to miss Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling and its premiere in January!”
Our hero needs to come out of his shell… literally! Reborn inside a dragon egg in a mysterious new world, he lacks the magic and might of your average isekai’d adventurer. To survive and thrive, he must hatch and evolve from a weak creature into a fearsome dragon—all while navigating the dangers of a deep, dark forest teeming with threats. What epic battles and unexpected encounters await in this unique twist on the isekai genre?
