Fifth Season of Disenchantment Confirmed By Netflix

Matt Groening’s Disenchantment originally had a deal for two seasons at Netflix, and was then renewed for two more. By the time Season 4 came out it was obvious the show was never going to take off in the same manner his previous shows have, and we figured four seasons would be all it’d have. But surprise — rumors of a fifth season were true. It is also confirmed that no, there will not be any more Disenchantment after this. Disenchantment is the only fully serialized Groening series (some might say to its detriment), and it’s kind of crucial that the storyline be given advance warning of its own demise. Fortunately this IS a situation where they knew that going in. Expect all questions to be answered and all plot threads tied up in this final season. Altogether 50 episodes of Disenchantment were made. So what happens? “It all endeth here. The misadventures of hard-hitting, hard-drinking Queen Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo and her personal demon Luci culminate in

Bongo Comics, Matt Groening’s publishing house that mainly printed Simpsons and Futurama material (and assisted Stephen Hillenburg in the Spongebob Comics series), went out of business in 2018, and most people aren’t aware what a loss that truly was. With the Hollywood writer’s strike in full swing we’re hearing a lot of gripes about the studio system. Well, I have yet to hear a single complaint from a former worker about Bongo. It was pretty much the only publisher that WASN’T a profits-first, writers-last organization. A year after Bongo folded, Groening’s “Disenchantment” started running on Netflix, but due to the former problem this meant Groening couldn’t print comics based on his new cartoon. Or could he? Apparently he paid to have them made anyway, and debuted the first two issues at San Diego Comic-Con under a new publishing imprint called “Bapper Books.” Those were the only two issues of anything Bapper Books would print. It was unknown what happened to the other 500-plus pages (not an exaggeration) of the Disenchantment

Disenchantment Returns September 20 — New Trailer

If you recall, Matt Groening has a new show, Disenchantment, which premiered on Netflix last year with ten episodes. The problem with Groening shows, though, is that they take a while to get going — both The Simpsons and Futurama didn’t hit the ground running, but grew spectacular once they found their groove. Netflix is significantly more stingy with their episode count, meaning a LOT of Disenchantment’s first season didn’t really work. Once the real plot kicked in, though, it had a strong finish. Can it ride that momentum for a solid Season 1B? In order to discuss why the events in this trailer are happening, we’ll have to spoil how the last season ended, so if you haven’t seen it yet, ignore this: Bean discovered a way to restore her mother back to life, but it would mean choosing between her mom and her new best friend Elfo. Elfo may be a main character, but he didn’t have quite the same history, so she chose Mom. Then Mom turned

Our First, Brief Look At Matt Groening’s Disenchantment

Last year Matt Groening announced he was finally producing a new animated series, called Disenchanted, this time for Netflix. At the time, we knew nothing. Less then two months out from release, we still knew nothing. Until today, when the first official trailer was released. Now we know…a little more than nothing. Seriously, there isn’t much to chew on here. The trailer consists of an overhead shot of a medieval town, followed by one brief clip that’s plot-related and not a joke. Netflix continues to hold their cards very close to the chest when it comes to Disenchantment. Maybe the series synopsis can give us a few more hints as to what we’re getting…. From the mind of Matt Groening, comes the 10-episode adult animated comedy fantasy series, Disenchantment, launching on Netflix, August 17, 2018. In Disenchantment, viewers will be whisked away to the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland, where they will follow the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo, and her personal demon Luci.
