Glitch Productions confirmed the production of a full season of Knights of Guinevere, the 2D animated psychological thriller co-created by Dana Terrace. The decision comes after the pilot surpassed 11 million views. The series, written and directed by Terrace and Alex Bale, follows a young woman recruited into a modern knighthood program that combats supernatural threats while she confronts her traumas.
A team with experience in 2D animation for an adult project 🎨
Production is already underway with a team that includes artists who worked on The Owl House and Lackadaisy. This suggests a focus on detailed and expressive 2D animation, suitable for the intense narrative and the young adult audience it targets. The distinctive visual style of the pilot, characterized by its dark atmosphere and elaborate character designs, will be maintained in the full series.
Because what a trauma needs are more monsters 😈
The narrative logic is classic: if a personal tragedy leaves you shattered, the obvious solution is to join a secret order that pits you against indescribable horrors. Thus Guinevere swaps therapy for a sword, exchanging introspection sessions for missions where demons are, hopefully, easier to understand than her own feelings. An unorthodox recovery plan, but effective for ratings.
