Due to a meandering plotline heavy on slow-boiling subplots and short on humour, Disenchantment Season 4 failed to captivate fans.
Various fans of the Netflix animated series Disenchantment were disappointed with season 4 since the programme failed to develop its many subplots. The fantasy satire suffers from a tighter storyline than Matt Groening’s other animated works, making it difficult for viewers to immerse themselves in its deep mythology. This, combined with the series’ slower pace, has kept it from achieving the same level of popularity as Futurama and The Simpsons.
The release of Disenchantment season 4 on February 9, 2022, went mostly unreported. Instead, the conclusion of The Book of Boba Fett, which was released the same day, took over social media. Even die-hard Disenchantment fans debated the simultaneous announcement of a new season of Futurama on Hulu without popular voice actor John DiMaggio reprising his role as Bender. Ironically, the new season of the same producers’ show, in which DiMaggio plays King Zg, was virtually overlooked in the middle of the crisis.
How Many Disenchantment Seasons Are There?
Disenchantment is now available to view on Netflix in three seasons or parts. Each iteration lasts between 22-36 minutes, and there are already thirty episodes available on the streaming site for customers to enjoy.

Season 4 Premiere Date for Disenchantment
Netflix released the official Disenchantment part 4 release date on January 19, and it will be on February 9th.
As previously stated, there was almost a year and a month between the first 20 episodes purchased, which corresponded to our projection that the following episodes would come in February 2022. They’re finally arriving!
Meanwhile, fans may watch the first three seasons on Netflix, as well as other outstanding animated programmes such as Big Mouth, F is For Family and others. The much anticipated Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources will premiere the following month.
Who’s in The Disenchantment Cast?
Abbi Jacobson (Broad City), Nat Faxon (The Conners), Eric André (Bad Trip), John DiMaggio (Futurama), Sharon Horgan (This Way Up), Maurice LaMarche (Animaniacs), and Richard Ayowade are among the voices in Disenchantment (The IT Crowd).
Disenchantment Is Completely Reliant on The Plot.
The fact that Disenchantment has a more rigid structure and narrative than Futurama and The Simpsons is the main reason for its lack of popularity. Disenchantment has a plotline with hundreds of characters and many subplots that are all tied together by the novel’s environment. This is in sharp contrast to Matt Groening’s previous shows, which were more episodic and accessible to anybody who happened upon them while channel-surfing.
This is to be anticipated, given that Disenchantment was created to accommodate current audiences’ binge-watching tendencies. Because the series is only available on Netflix, the authors have every right to assume that the viewer has specifically sought it out, allowing them to go into more depth with their writing.
Disenchantment’s densely linked plot, on the other hand, did not appeal to those who anticipated the programme to simply reference fantasy series like Game of Thrones in the same manner that Futurama spoofed Star Trek and other classic science fiction. Instead, Disenchantment has created a world as complicated as Westeros, with a tale that demands viewers to watch all of the episodes to keep up with all of the characters and their activities.
The Resolved Subplots Were Completely Ineffective
While most of Disenchantment’s ongoing subplots sat dormant in Season 4, a few were handled in such a way that they were revealed to be completely unimportant to the main plotline, drawing comparisons to The Simpsons’ weaker recent seasons. The narrative of Elfo’s parentage, which was ultimately proven in Disenchantment season 4, episode 2, “The Good, the Bad, and the Bum-Bum,” is perhaps the clearest illustration of this. Elfo was taken to the Ogre Queen after being captured by ogres in the Disenchantment season 3 finale and revealed to be her long-lost son, the result of her first affair with Elfo’s father.
While this validated the popular notion that Elfo was half-elf and half-ogre, the narrative concluded in an anticlimactic manner, with Bean and Luci “rescuing” Elfo, ruining his blissful reunion. Despite the fact that there was no reason for Elfo to return to Dreamland other than his crush on Bean, which had come and gone as the story necessitated, he made no effort to return to the family he’d long hoped for. Another reason Disenchantment has failed to gain the following of Futurama is because of its inconsistent characterisation.
