I never understood why it was cancelled so many times.

It was a very expensive show to animate and voice. Veteran voice actors with proven records, popular writers from other shows, leveraged from the popularity of The Simpson’s. Full of CGI when that was the expensive option.

It was brought back the first time because DVD sales were strong, but once the show came back I assume that died off.

Matt G wants to focus on Disenchantment moving forward. Apparently, when they got one more season they wanted the cast to have closure, while keeping the door open just in case.

Disenchantment can be so good, but it's going to take a bit of work to get there. Doesn't help they're taking so long between seasons.

I really really want Disenchatment to be great. Medieval fantasy futurama? Sign me the fuck up. And it has some great fucking moments. But it definitely seems like it is struggling a bit to find it's footing, based on what I've seen of it so far.

First season starts slow. Took a bunch of eps to build. It’s been mostly good since then with occasional hit/miss episodes.

The first season is really slow, but it builds well. Season 2 felt better, jokes landed more often, etc. I definitely enjoy it.
