Last summer, Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, announced that Netflix had bought the rights to his first new show in nearly two decades: Disenchantment, described as “an adult fantasy about a crumbling medieval kingdom known as Dreamland”. Now, there’s a premiere date and a first look at the series, which follows a boozy princess named Bean, her aptly named elf friend Elfo, and Luci, Bean’s “personal demon”.

The 10-episode first season of Disenchantment, which marks Groening’s long-awaited return to television, lands on Netflix on 17 August. Broad City’s Abbi Jacobson will voice Bean, who, in the four promotional photos released by Groening on Reddit and the show’s official Twitter account, carries either a sword, scimitar or a pint of beer, suggesting no ordinary princess.

Groening is the man, hopefully this is him at his best again!

I'm really hoping this is better then the last season of Futurama.

 

[Woberts]

Eh, get Dan Harmon in there and then I'll be excited.

Since I'm not a Netflix subscriber, my response is "oh well".

Should be fun, I'll have to check it out.

I think that the markets and pricepoints are becoming well understood. Certain viewers are ok with adverts. Some aren't. Some prefer video games or other pursuits to advertising or high pricepoints. What we are seeing is the future: entertainment is nearly in a stable arrangement and divided into markets according to who will pay for particular content. The groundwork is laid. The market is mostly structured probably.

In that universe, I was more Zoidberg.

Netflix is TV?

I liked the Simpsons when they first came out but after a short while they just got old. And all these years they are still around. They've been old for a long time. I hated Futurama from the start. For years I loved Family Guy, then all of a sudden like I couldn't stand it. Now to hear the voice of Stewie or Brian - I can't stand those two - makes me want to hurl. For years I couldn't stand to watch South Park, now it's my favorite show. I have just about every episode on DVR and watch it every day.

Just thought I would let ya' know . . .

I didn't find Disenchantment to be that funny. Disappointing...

It seems that I am in the minority (not much of a surprise). I liked it enough to have a hard time stopping at the third episode.
