Internet tv streamer Netflix is known for taking risks with its programming, but if it’s ever had a sure bet, it could be the company’s latest pick-up: a 20-episode order for Disenchantment, an adult comedy-fantasy series created by Matt Groening.
Groening, who created The Simpsons and Futurama, will employ his “trademark animation style” on the new series, which is set in the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland. The show will “follow the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo, and her personal demon Luci,” and the series promises encounters with “ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools.”
Word of a Netflix/Matt Groening partnership has been floating around since the beginning of 2016, suggesting that Groening has been developing the show for some time.
