Disenchantment's Part 4 Trailer Reveals It's Bad to Be the Queen

It’s been over a year since we last saw Luci the demon, Elfo the elf, and Bean the newly crowned Queen of Dreamland on Netflix, and things weren’t looking good. Luci had died and gone to heaven. Elfo had been carried away by angry ogres for blinding their prince. And poor Bean had been dragged off to hell by her evil mother Dagmar to marry someone who may or may not be the de facto ruler of Steamland, which has designs on Dreamland. Impressively, this new trailer for Disenchantment: Part IV shows things can always get worse. Because they do!

It seems like basically everyone is going to challenge Queen Bean for her throne, but it also appears like Dreamland has a secret of its own. It’s good stuff:

The summary over at the trailer’s YouTube page says, “Princess Bean’s misadventures this season include the discovery of an underwater castle containing secrets that could change the history of Dreamland,” which is very interesting. But Part IV’s official synopsis is a bit more epic:

“[Our heroes] find themselves everywhere from the depths of Hell to the clouds of Heaven and everywhere in between, including Ogreland, Steamland, underwater, monasteries, insane asylums, the Enchanted Forest, the Dreamscape and more. All the while, puzzle pieces both canonical and personal will reveal themselves to eager fans.”

What I love so much about Disenchantment, especially as we enter part four, is that creator Matt Groening has managed to tell a complex, serialized narrative, using excellent world-building and an ever-growing fantasy world, while still being very, very funny. It’s a real chocolate/peanut butter situation to be as interested in where this surprisingly epic story is heading as much as enjoying all the laughs. I mean, there’s a shot of Zøg riding a charging bear through a “late-night bunny party” and stealing one of the rabbit’s cigars—who doesn’t want to know every single iota of context for that?

Disenchantment returns to Netflix on February 9.

The Only Version of Return of the King Worth Watching Missing From Max After Streaming Bug

Screenshot: Warner Bros. Bad news for Max subscribers who’ve made re-watching The Lord of the Rings extended editions an annual New Year tradition: the third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King — which just celebrated its 20th anniversary! —is only available to stream in its theatrical version. No ancient evil is to blame, thankfully; it’s an unspecified “tech issue,” according to a Max spokesperson who responded to a comment request from Vulture after the issue was noted by dismayed fans on Reddit . The fact that The Return of the King extended edition is merely temporarily unavailable is actually good news given Max’s track record for removing content in the past, and the explanation makes sense considering The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers remain available in both their theatrical and extended editions. The Max spokesperson assured Vulture that The Return of the King extended edition will be, ah, returning soon to the service, though as of this writing i...

You Can Visit Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in Hollywood

Image: Universal Pictures Just in time for Halloween and for the release of Blumhouse and Universal Pictures’ Five Nights at Freddy ’s fans can visit a pop-up location of the fictional franchise from the game and film. That’s right, a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has mysteriously appeared in Hollywood. Like in the game and upcoming film, it’s a run-down spot that’s been closed down due to some mysterious activity within. Unfortunately, you can’t actually go in unless you’re hired as a security guard (kidding)—it’s just a facade for photo-ops you can visit. Check out the video captured by deadboifilms on TikTok below at the location on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood (near the Chateau Marmont Hotel). If you want to encounter the animatronic band of fuzzy and totally friendly creatures from the game, you’ll have to visit Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights, there’s a walk-through in the DreamWorks theater lobby that’s been taken over by Blumhouse which features the real Jim ...
