Debuting on November 12, Season 3 propels audiences deeper into the world of Aerwiar as the Wingfeather family faces its greatest trials yet. Separated from his family, Janner journeys with his friend Maraly across the perilous Stony Mountains toward the frozen Ice Prairies, pursued by monsters and things best left in the shadows.

Beneath the tundra lies the fabled city of Kimera, a place of both hope and danger, while Kalmar, betrayed and captured, endures imprisonment in the dungeons of the Phoob Islands. Across these frozen frontiers, the family's courage and loyalty will be tested as a new evil rises.
