Official Description
''Basking in the glory of their recent victory, the ninja embark on a new adventure to explore a mysterious pyramid – just for a little light rest and recovery, of course. But has success lulled our heroes into a false sense of security? When the ninja accidentally set an ancient threat loose, nothing could ever have prepared them for the mayhem that follows.''

Trailer 1 - The Fire Chapter: ''The Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu have been kept a secret for a thousand years. With good reason. The evil Serpentine sorceress, Aspheera, was banished along with the Scrolls – but now she is back, hungry for revenge, and ready to get her fangs on the Scrolls once more and reclaim her powers. The ninja’s powers, friendships, beliefs and loyalties will be put to the test like never before.''

 * This season has a currently unknown focus Ninja.
 * Starting with the episode "Questing for Quests," there is an intro recapping the events of the previous episode with The Wicked Whip in the background.
 * This is also the first season not to have the traditional "previously on Ninjago" section at the beginning of the episodes.
 * The intro says the episode name, but does not say the episode number.
 * This is the first season since Season 7: The Hands of Time to feature songs by The Fold in the opening.
 * A new vehicle called the Land Bounty appears in this season. The Destiny's Bounty is also used.
 * The sets revealed new characters, including the Ice Emperor, Aspheera, General Vex, Blizzard Samurai, Pyro Vipers, and Char.

 * The second time was in 2018 with Sons of Garmadon in the spring and Hunted in the summer.
 * On the Cartoon Network USA app/website, the season is separated from the others, as if Season 11 is the first season of a new series. This may be due to the Masters of Spinjitzu subtitle being dropped, and LEGO occasionally branding it as a "new series" in promotional material.
 * This is also the case for the Google Knowledge panel which claims Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu ended with March of the Oni and a new Knowledge panel has been created for Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu.
 * Google Play also lists this as the beginning of a new series. The synopsis states: "Picking up shortly after the events of "March of the Oni," the series begins a new chapter in the world of Ninjago, as well as a new format. Neither a reboot nor a spin-off, the next adventure explores new and creative possibilities for storytelling in shorter segments, a noticeable change from the longer episodes and serialized format of the previous series. Not to fear, fans of the franchise: the show's creators promise there will be many deep cuts, recurring characters, references to past events, and reveals of previously undisclosed lore from ancient Ninjago history."
 * Tommy Andreason revealed in a tweet that anime will be incorporated in some way to the second half of Season 11. The episode "Worst of All!" will use anime for a scene with Ultra Violet, However, it is unknown what the episode number is or what any plot points/details are.
