The creator of the
long-running animated TV series " The Simpsons" brings his first
new show in 20 years to Netflix this week, a story that
centers around a drunken princess, an elf and a demon.
Set in a medieval world called Dreamland, "Disenchantment"
is creator Matt Groening's take on shows like HBO's blockbuster
fantasy series "Game of Thrones."
Speaking at the show's Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday,
Groening said the program is "more emotional" than " The
Simpsons" or his other animated hit, "Futurama." He said Netflix
gave him "free rein" to create whatever he wanted.
Netflix Inc will release all 10 episodes of "Disenchantment"
on Friday.
