The denizens of Dreamland will slip into an eternal slumber now that Matt Groening’s animated fantasy comedy series Disenchantment is ending. Netflix is sunsetting Disenchantment at the close of its fifth and final season. In addition to announcing the show’s farewell, Netflix announced a Disenchantment Season 5 premiere date of September 1 alongside a trailer for the last batch of episodes.
Here’s the official description for Disenchantment Season 5:
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 an epic battle for Dreamland. To save Dreamland from Queen Dagmar’s wicked rule, Bean must vanquish her mother and outrun a prophecy that foretells she will kill someone she loves. The stakes are as high as ever as our heroes face Satan, a headless corpse, an evil scientist, and, most terrifying of all – their true destiny.
In the Disenchantment Season 5 trailer, Bean’s journey through Dreamland barrels toward its epic conclusion. Alongside her ragtag friend group, Bean literally goes through Hell and back to defy the laws of death, laugh in the face of danger, and plunge a sword through anyone foolish enough to stand in her way. Once a runaway bride, Bean finds true love in Dreamland while challenging the hierarchy and changing the status quo. Evil scientists, hateful royals, and Satan beware; Bean is determined to write herself a happy ending, and she’ll do anything within her power to get it.
Disenchantment‘s voice cast includes Abbi Jacobson, Eric Andre, and Nat Faxon, with John DiMaggio, Tress MacNeille, Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry, Noel Fielding, Meredith Hagner, David Herman, Sharon Horgan, Maurice LaMarche, Lucy Montgomery, and Billy West.
Before you sharpen your pitchforks and raise your torches, Netflix ordered Disenchantment Season 5 as the show’s final season. The last episodes aim to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion, wrapping lingering story threads and sending characters out with a bang.
