Remember The Netflix Show Briggs Worked On With Matt Groening? Its Release Date Is Finally Here

Fans of Briggs and The Simpsons understandably lost their marbles last year when it was revealed the Aussie rapper was writing for creator Matt Groening's new Netflix show, Disenchantment. 

Now, everyone can lose it all over again with the premiere date today being revealed, as well as some stills from the upcoming animation. 

Disenchantment will premiere on Netflix on 17 August, with Briggs posting online this morning, "Hear Ye! This is what we’ve been working on. Meet Princess Bean, Elfo & Luci".

The voice cast includes the core trio of Abbi Jacobson (Broad City), Eric Andre (Man Seeking Woman, The Eric Andre Show) and Nat Faxon (Ben & Kate, Married) as, respectively, alcoholic princess Bean, her personal demon Luci and elf companion Elfo.

Also aboard are Futurama alumni John DiMaggio, Billy West and Maurice LaMarche, long-time Groening collaborator Tress MacNeille, The IT Crowd's Matt Berry, fellow Brit Lucy Montgomery, Office Space's David Herman and The Mighty Boosh's Noel Fielding and Rich Fulcher.

The show has been approved for two seasons of 10 episodes apiece. Set in a mediaeval fantasy city called Dreamland, Groening says that Disenchantment "will be 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".
