After tackling modern times with "The Simpsons" and the future with "Futurama," producer Matt Groening steps into the past with "Disenchantment." The animated fantasy series geared toward adults 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 personal demon Luci. The oddball trio encounters the likes of ogres, sprites, imps, trolls and human fools along the way. The voice cast features Abbi Jacobson as Bean and includes veteran voiceover artists such as John DiMaggio, Billy West and Maurice LaMarche.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Disenchantment showcases enough of Matt Groening's trademark humor to satisfy fans -- although the show's overall familiarity and disappointing willingness to play it safe may not bode well for future seasons.

The main feeling you get is that everyone's stoked to work for a service without any apparent standards and practices division. Go to Full Review Troy Patterson The New Yorker 05/28/2019
Playing against the seriousness and self-glorification of so much sword-clanging fantasy, it makes the most of slapstick pestilence and the absurdist misery of peasants, revisiting history as farce. Go to Full Review Sam Mossman Arizona Republic 05/28/2019

The results are positive, the story is fun, there are laughs to be had and the show brings the subtlety and wit we have come to expect from Groening's creations. Go to Full Review James McMahon NME (New Musical Express) 07/14/2021
Sure, it's no Simpsons, but Matt Groening's new series will reward and surprise the box-set bingers... Go to Full Review Prahlad Srihari Firstpost 07/23/2020
Disenchantment shares its DNA -- albeit a much weaker strain -- with the comedy of Monty Python with its penchant for visual gags. But it often relies too heavily on outdated ba-dum-tish one-liners and physical comedy. Go to Full Review Charlie Ceates Cultured Vultures 10/08/2019

Disenchantment is far from Matt Groening's best work but has a lot of room for potential and is worth a watch if you are a fan of animation. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Vinicius José F @Chervah Jan 12 Série muito semelhante à The Simpsons... até mais adulta, só fiquei triste por ser finalizada na 5ª temporada... mas pelo menos o final foi coerente e amarrou todas as pontas soltas. Só gostaria que retornasse com a princesa alcoólatra (naipe Homer) e as confusões do diabinho q não é tão mal. Torço pra retornar como aconteceu com Futurama... E bençãos à Matt Groening👏👏👏🤘🍻 See more Hughe J @Hughe Jul 28 Disenchantment was an animated show released on streaming in 2018 and created by Matt Groening (Simpsons and Futurama). It's set in a medieval time period replete with magic and monsters and centers around a princess nicknamed Bean. During the first season she struggles with alcohol, responsibility, and her relationship with her father. The animation is pretty good, reminds me of Futurama, the voice over work is fine, but most of the humor didn't land and the episodes tended to really drag. To be fair the first season of any show spends a fair amount of time setting up the cast but this felt like the entire season was an exposition dump. Matt Groening has done this before so Season 2 will likely be better, but S1 was average at best and very slow at times. See more Alan d @RT71554970 May 25 Such a great story. Really funny, still wholesome and a joy to watch. Must see. See more Sem M @RT77431019 03/29/2025 One of my all time favourites. See more TROY S @RT37181233 02/06/2025 Yeah it's not a bad show overall, I think the concensus is just that the beginning drags a little bit. I have a feeling if they condensed the first 6 episodes into 2 or 3, then people's reception would be a lot better. A lot of the beginning stories should have been told after we have an emotional investment in the characters. See more Camila S @RT91458518 01/03/2025 One of the best and animations I have seen.
