Season 9: Hunted

Season 9 of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu subtited Hunters of Dragon is an upcoming season; it is preceded by Season 8 and will continue that season's main events. A new character, the Master of the Golden Dragon, may serve as the focus character, while Iron Baron serves as the main antagonist, and the Dragon Keepers are the villainous faction of the season.

Following the supposed demise of Wu and the original Ninja, Lloyd and Nya resist Lord Garmadon's tyrannical control of Ninjago City. In the first realm, the original Ninja must find a weapon capable of defeating Garmadon and ending his rule. The season will start airing in Australia in late June 2018, with sets being released that summer.
