Disenchantment Season 2 Renewal Confirmed by Netflix

Disenchantment Season 2 is a go over at Netflix!

Netflix is apparently enchanted enough with Disenchantment, since it has just given an order for Season 2 of the series, setting up another 20 episodes… for 2020 and 2021. – Yeah, that’s going to need an explanation.

Indeed, it will be nearly two years until Disenchantment Season 2 arrives, seeing as Season 1 is still not technically finished. With 10 episodes of the inaugural season having premiered on Netflix back on August 17, fans are still awaiting the second half, which is set to arrive sometime in 2019. Thus, Disenchantment will continue to adhere to a release strategy of annual half-seasons, meaning that Season 2 will premiere its first half in 2020, followed the second half in 2021. Consequently, the Season 2 renewal means that the series will be around for at least the next three years.

As creator Matt Groening expresses in a statement:

“We’re excited to continue this epic journey with Netflix. Stay tuned for more cranked-up suspense, infuriating plot twists, and beloved characters getting knocked off.”

The story of Disenchantment centers on the exploits of the hard-drinking Princess Bean (Abbi Jacobson), who, joined by her elven companion Elfo (Nat Faxon) and personal demon Luci (Eric André), experience very real concepts like life, death, love and sex within a magical medieval world called Dreamland. The series, much like The Simpsons creator Matt Groening’s Futurama, taps heavily into the well of genre satire, this time utilizing fantasy tropes. However, unlike Groening’s Fox shows, Disenchantment conforms itself to Netflix binge-watching, mostly telling a linear story across the season instead of resetting the status quo each episode.

Jacobson, Faxon and André are joined in the Disenchantment voice cast by John DiMaggio, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, David Herman, Tress MacNeille, Matt Berry, Rich Fulcher, Jeny Batten, Lucy Montgomery and Noel Fielding.

Disenchantment is produced by The ULULU Company for Netflix, with Groening and Josh Weinstein serving as executive producers. Rough Draft Studios handles the animation.
