All great tales come to an end, and it’s not different withDisenchantment. The animated series returns to its final season – or “Part 5” as Netflix dubs it – in just about a month and with only one question to answer. Will the inhabitants of Dreamland be able to livehappily ever after? The trailer released today suggests that they’ll have to fight tooth and nail throughout the ten episodes to achieve it.
The trailer starts out by doing a somewhat extensive recap of previousDisenchantmentepisodes. From Bean (voiced byAbbi Jacobson) neglecting her future as a traditional princess to her adventures through Dreamland with her (then) newfound friend and demon Luci (Eric Andre). The recap highlights Bean’s many figurative and literal falls, and also that weird time when she had to decapitate herself.
Then it’s time to look forward as the trailer highlights thatDisenchantmentwill bow out exactly as it came: With Bean sticking with her friends to the very end. In order to go out with a bang, we’ll see a little bit of everything: War, iron suits,legions of demons, and more decapitation. And yet, God themselves pop in to say that the worst is yet to come. How can it get worse? We’ll have to wait a month to find out.
