How to Train Your Dragon gets new UK streaming home ahead of the remake's release
How to Train Your Dragon has found a new UK streaming home ahead of the live-action remake's release. The 2010 animated DreamWorks classic aired on ITV1 yesterday, and is now available to stream on ITVX. That means UK viewers can watch the film for free. The free tier does have ads, but you can pay for ITVX Premium at £5.99 a month/£59.99 a year. The film follows an awkward teenage viking boy named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who decides not to follow in his clan's footsteps by killing a dragon that he meets. Instead, he decides to befriend the creature, calling it Toothless. Adapted from Cressida Cowell's 2003 book of the same name, the upcoming live-action remake will follow the same plot, and has even brought back Gerard Butler as Hiccup's dad, Stoick the Vast.

"It's an interesting one for me, because I've firmly been on the side of not just adapting those films as a trend," he said. Related: "I love animation, and I love those films that come out of the studios, but I've never been for remaking movies in a new medium without any real purpose to it. "But when Universal talked about this project and seeing it through as a live-action film, it, to me, kind of pinged something in me regarding the making of the first movie that was always an ambition for Chris Sanders and I. Which is to lean into a live-action sensibility." The How To Train Your Dragon live-action remake is released in cinemas on 9 June. The animated version can be streamed on ITVX now.

Groundbreaking '90s drama lands new UK streaming home
Groundbreaking '90s show Dawson's Creek has found a new streaming home in the UK. All six seasons of the teen drama, which ran from 1998 to 2003, are now available to watch as part of a Prime Video subscription. It was previously available to watch in full via ITVX, where it is still available (for now, at least). So if you don't pay for ITVX Premium but do pay for the ad-free Prime Video option, you can now watch all 128 episodes without ads in the middle. Related: Best film and TV tours for 2025 Starring James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams, Dawson's Creek followed a group of friends in high school and later into college. It dealt with an issue of topics such as death, homophobia, class differences, and love and heartbreak, and kicked off a wave of American teen dramas, such as The OC, Gilmore Girls, and One Tree Hill, to name a few. One of the things the show is most remembered for is the crying Dawson meme, something that James Van Der Beek admitted to hating at first but eventually came round to. Speaking to Digital Spy previously, he said: "I did a television show for six years that has been boiled down to a two-second loop of me crying. Related: "Six years of my career and it's just those two seconds. It's like... well, we never called that! But it's hilarious, I love it. "What I find hilarious about it was it was one of the more sincere moments of that entire shooting experience. For me, that's the reason it tickled me so much. I don't think I was scripted to cry – it's just one of those gifts that happens when you play a character for so long... "I remember that moment, it happening... so the fact that it's now used to mock people online just gives me endless amusement. So that's one of the happy accidents, you might say, of my career!" Dawson's Creek can now be streamed on Prime Video and ITVX. Playstation/Getty Images You Might Also Like PS5 consoles for sale – PlayStation 5 stock and restocks: Where to buy PS5 today?
