'Simpsons' creator Matt Groening reveals 'Disenchantment', his first show in 20 years
Not too long after missing the mark on Apu, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening has revealed his first new show in 20 years.
Disenchantment, a medieval-themed comedy fantasy series, is set to arrive on Netflix on August 17 with a 10-episode run.
On its Twitter page Wednesday, Disenchantment teased closeups of the characters in the new show.

Netflix also revealed a first look at art from the new show, which is certainly reminiscent of Groening's previous work, especially Futurama (RIP).
The series will follow the misadventures of "hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo, and her personal demon Luci."
As they go about their adventures, the trio will encounter "ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools."
"Ultimately, 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," Groening said in a statement last July.
The series will feature a voice cast including Broad City's Abbi Jacobson, The Descendants co-writer Nat Faxon, and comedian Eric Andre.
