Futurama is one of my all-time favourite shows. It’s one of the first things my now-husband and I bonded over when we met. So I was excited to hear that creator Matt Groening was moving from sci-fi to fantasy with Disenchantment.
After watching the whole season, which debuted last Friday on Netflix, I can safely say it’s a fine show. Not great, but not bad either. And the final couple of episodes may blow you away.
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening is delving into the realm of myths and monsters with his new Netflix series, Disenchantment. While it might be tempting to do what he did with the Futurama fantasy parody Bender’s Game, and make it a nonstop string of references, Groening said this new series will be a world all its own.
The thing that’s always made Matt Groening’s fantastical worlds relatable is that they’re all fundamentally similar to ours. Regardless of the universe they exist in, Groening’s characters are all drinking to escape the reality of their lives.
The upcoming fantasy animated series from Simpsons creator Matt Groening drops next month. And as you'd expect, Netflix showed off the official trailer at Comic-Con.
After The Simpsons, Matt Groening took to the future for his jokey love letter to science fiction in Futurama. Now, he's planning on doing something similar for fantasy in his new Netflix series Disenchanment — and we finally have our first look.
