TV show description:
This musical comedy series comes from animated musical veterans Dan Fogelman (writer), Alan Menken (composer), and Glenn Slater (lyricist). It revolves around a dashing hero who once lost the love of his life to an evil king. It’s now time for the hero to exact his revenge and restore his “happily ever after.”
Charming and handsome, Galavant (Joshua Sasse) is a gallant knight and hero so beloved that he is known by just one name. When he goes to save the love of his life, Madalena (Mallory Jansen), after she was kidnapped by the evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson), she rejects Galavant.
He proclaims that all he has to offer her is his love and it seems that the demanding beauty would prefer a life of fame and fortune over love. So, she marries the King.
Since then, Galavant has gone broke, stopped bathing, and has gained weight — most likely due to his penchant for libations. Sid (Luke Youngblood) is Galavant’s trusty squire who assists the fallen hero in keeping his life in order as best he can. Adopted as a baby, Sid was left on an older couple’s doorstep.
Notorious for his evil ways, King Richard indulges in such hobbies as raising taxes and tormenting the poor. The evil king isn’t as tough as you might think however. One insult from Madalena and he bursts into tears. Gareth (Vinnie Jones) is the king’s rough and tough right-hand henchman who often has to instruct the king on how to be more manly in his ways.
Spunky Princess Isabella (Karen David) — whose full name is Princess Isabella Lucia Maria Elizabetta of Valencia — seeks out and engages the depressed Galavant in order to save her people from King Richard. She’s sent by the king to lure Galavant to him so that King Richard can kill the fallen hero in front of his former flame, Madalena.
Episode #18 — The One True King (To Unite Them All)
Under Madalena and Wormwood’s spell, the zombie army revolts against Galavant. Meanwhile, Richard goes after Wormwood. Elsewhere, Gareth tries to reason with Madalena, but she is driven to learn how to use her newly acquired dark magic.
First aired: January 31, 2016.
What do you think? Do you like the Galavant TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Love love love Galavant! Please bring it back. Just watched on ABC. Please keep it there for us that don’t have cable. It makes my Sunday night! Please bring back for another season!
Galavant is a wonderful break from everything else on TV. The short season format is perfect to keep it fresh each time. Keep it coming back!
Please keep Galavant on the air!! It is clever, endearing and unexpected and the cast and writers are brilliant. I look forward to it every week and have caught every episode. The characters are engaging and song lyrics are smart and hilarious. Keep this gem alive please! It is a rare treat in a sea of mediocrity.
I LOVE that show. I am looking forward to it on Jan. 3rd. WHY cancel a good show just because it is different? Trash they keep on..go figure. Real Housewives should be banned from tv. THIS is great fun t.v. Does no one listen to the people out here about what we LIKE???
It is not canceled. It will be back on in January for 5 weeks.
galavant has been canceled and so has resurrection
Gallavant is hilarious!! Great British type humor! The songs too! Thoroughly enjoy the show! Keep it up. Can;t wait for more!
At least Galavant is silly on purpose and the creators and viewers realize that. Forever is quite the opposite. It is silly by mistake and the creators and the few viewers that actually watched it don’t realize it. Maybe they could move Forever to Netflix or Hulu, where quality is not always as important and allow the few viewers to watch it. There is a market for dumb shows too.
This show should be cancelled and not Forever. I am sorry, but this show is too silly. Bring back Forever!
I laughed so hard I cried while watching this show. Keep it around for another season and let’s see where the story can go! It’s such a fun change.
Please renew it!!!
We loved this show! It was funny and clever and extremely well done. PLEASE bring it back!
Great show ! e talked about it everyday, at work. We sang out galavant daily. Please bring it back
Loved it we talked about it at work, we were passing one another in the halls, singing, galvant
This was a funny show. I hope it continues. I didn’t think I would like it but there were some hilarious parts….I think my favorite was the slow motion jousting! Very cute.
PLEASE do not let this show die. It was wonderful in so many ways: the music, the lyrics, the singing and acting. Keep it on!
