25 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2018

10. Disenchantment

Matt Groening as a simpsons character
20th Century Fox

Who? Matt Groening (creator); Abbi Jacobson, Nat Faxon, Eric Andre.

What? An animated adult fantasy set in the crumbling kingdom of Beanlandia, where we follow the alcoholic Princess Bean, her elf companion Elfo, and personal demon Luci.

Why? Being the first TV series from Groening since Futurama, there's an immediate and obvious reason to be interested in this. Both that and The Simpsons may have experienced some low-points, but at their best, they're the finest animation committed to the small screen. It'll be interesting to see what he does with the more adult take too, so if we get something that mixes elements of The Simpsons and Futurama with Netflix's current best animated sitcom, BoJack Horseman - Groening said the show will explore life and death, love and sex - it could be really great.

When & Where? TBC, Netflix.
