What is Disenchantment (TV) About?
Disenchantment is an American animated fantasy sitcom with a comedic edge, created by Matt Groening, well-known for his earlier works The Simpsons and Futurama. The show is set in the medieval kingdom of Dreamland, a land filled with magic, mythical creatures, and medieval intrigue. The narrative follows Princess Tiabeanie, known as Bean, who is anything but the typical princess. Known for her hard-drinking habits and rebellious nature, Bean's aspirations extend beyond the royal expectations. She is joined by Elfo, an optimistic elf who has left his own insular community to explore the world, and Luci, Bean's personal demon whose intentions are as mischievous as they are mysterious. Together, this unlikely trio embarks on various quests that satirize traditional fantasy tropes while exploring themes such as identity, freedom, and the meaning of happiness. The show features a voice cast led by Abbi Jacobson as Bean, with Eric André as Luci and Nat Faxon as Elfo. Since its initial release on Netflix, Disenchantment has garnered attention for its unique animation style, intricate storytelling, and subversive humor. The series, spanning multiple seasons, has built a narrative that combines episodic adventures with an overarching plot, inviting viewers to unravel the deeper secrets of Dreamland and its inhabitants.
The first episode of Disenchantment aired on August 17, 2018 and the most recent episode to air was on September 01, 2023.
