Netflix has set the official premiere date for the upcoming Matt Groening adult animated comedy fantasy series “Disenchantment.”
The first 10 episodes will debut on Aug. 17. The series takes place in the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland. It follows the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo, and her personal demon Luci. Along the way, the oddball trio will encounter ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools. Netflix previously gave the series a 20-episode order.
The series will feature the voice talents of Abbi Jacobson as Bean, Nat Faxon as Elfo, and Eric Andre as Luci. Other voice talent includes John DiMaggio, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, David Herman–all of whom have worked with Groening in the past–as well as Matt Berry, Jeny Batten, Rich Fulcher, Noel Fielding, and Lucy Montgomery. Animation is being done by Rough Draft Studios, the same studio did the animation for Groening’s “Futurama.”
“Disenchantment” is produced by The ULULU Company for Netflix, with Matt Groening and Josh Weinstein serving as executive producers.
Groening is of course best known for creating “The Simpsons,” which recently wrapped its 29th season on Fox. The series broke the record for the longest-running primetime television series in April with its 636th episode, beating previous record holder “Gunsmoke.” “The Simpsons” has already been renewed for a 30th season. Groening also created the popular animated series “Futurama,” which ran for four seasons on Fox from 1999-2003 before being revived at Comedy Central for three more seasons starting in 2009.
BTW. This shit (according to reviews practically literally) is out.

I've watched half the season. It's ok, better than Final Space for sure. It works best when it breaks the medieval tropes like in the exorcism episode.
The jokes for me are hit and miss but I think the biggest problem are the characters. Most of them are just uninteresting. Futurama had great ensamble of character this not so much. The king is meh, Elfo is just boring.

After 2 episodes it felt mediocre. I understand what's supposed to be funny, but a lot of it isn't.
Third one: I just started doing other stuff halfway in, so delete it is.
Characters are pretty uninteresting and that demon doesn't work at all.
I'm almost finished now...dunno, but it got a bit lamer and repetitive with time.
It's strongest when the humor is dark and cynical but that is not very often.
I'd give this a 6.5/10
The show is an odd disenchanted beast, it does have some moments here and there where things work and the humour hits the mark but the majority of time is spent alongside insipid scenes and characters that aren't exactly remarkable, they feel on the safe side so to speak.
It gets a bit better after the shaky start, however it misses both the wittiness and that nice charming feeling of the classics..back when they were great . I hope Matt can eventually restore some of the old magic, though I suspect it's going to be a bugged quest.
Well this was very different from the Simpsons or Futurama which are purely gag based shows this one actually tried to tell a somewhat coherent story, this also seems to be what throws ppl of since it's not really what they expected, personally i liked it characters and setting have a lot of charm, will watch season 2.
The streaming giant has handed out a two-season renewal to The Simpsons creator Matt Groening's animated comedy Disenchantment.
The order is for 20 additional episodes total, matching the initial pickup for the series and taking it through four seasons of 10. Season two, aka the second half of its initial order, will air on 2019. Seasons three and four will air in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
finally got to watch it , was fine after the messy start , but overall it fellt kinda like tease and worldbuilding for whats to come ... probably on second half of season 1 ...
also seems like this splitseason nonsence keeps confusing jurnous
Yeah. I thought it was lame and redundant for the first couple of episodes but once you've gotten to know the characters and the world it's fine. Not at the best-of-Futurama-level but it's fine on it's own merits.
