Matt Groening's new animated series "Disenchantment" headed to Netflix

The creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, Matt Groening, has a new animated series for adults called Disenchantment. The "medieval adventure" debuts August 17 on Netflix and "follows the misadventures of a hard-drinking princess, her feisty elf companion and her personal demon."

The Guardian reports:

...Broad Citys Abbi Jacobson will voice Bean, who, in the four promotional photos released by Groening on Reddit and the shows official Twitter account, carries either a sword, scimitar or a pint of beer, suggesting no ordinary princess.

Beans sidekicks Elfo and Luci will be voiced respectively by Nat Faxon, who in 2011 won a best adapted screenplay Oscar for The Descendants, and the comic Eric Andre, last seen partaking in bachelor-party shenanigans in Rough Night. Supporting the main trio is a group of celebrated voice actors including Futuramas John DiMaggio, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, David Herman, Tress MacNeille, Jeny Batten, Rich Fulcher, Noel Fielding and Lucy Montgomery.

...In a statement last summer, Groening described Disenchantment, which has been picked up for 20 episodes, as a show about life and death, love and sex, and how to keep laughing in a world full of suffering and idiots, despite what the elders and wizards and other jerks tell you.
