Synopsis
Knights of Guinevere centres around Park Planet, a floating, planet-spanning amusement park with an android princess named Guinevere serving as its mascot. Living in the town of M7 on the surface below are Andi, an engineer and android surgeon working for the park, and Frankie, a factory worker and scrap-scavenger, both of whom are overworked and tired of their jobs. When Frankie comes across a damaged Guinevere android, the two friends sneak into the park's secret labs in order to repair it, unaware of what lies in wait for them.[‡ 2][3][7]

Orville Park presents Park Planet, a floating theme park, to his daughter Olivia as a gift. The android mascot of the park, Guinevere, attempts to escape. Later on, two children, Andi and Frankie, meet Guinevere while sneaking into the park. Several years later, Andi and Frankie live and work together in an industrial wasteland below Park Planet. During her daily salvage work for her father, Sparky, Frankie finds a damaged Guinevere android. Frankie is determined to fix the android, though Sparky cautions her against it. Later, Frankie goes to retrieve Guinevere, and is assisted by Andi, who was recently fired from her job as an android engineer. Sparky agrees to let them go after Andi agrees to turn Guinevere over to him upon fixing her. On their way to Park Planet's underwater labs, Andi and Frankie are wounded by a machine sent by an elderly and distraught Olivia. Guinevere defeats the machine, and they get her to a repair station. She reboots back in her world of fantasy, and immediately recognises Andi and Frankie.
Production
Knights of Guinevere was co-created by Dana Terrace, John Bailey Owen, and Zach Marcus; all three had previously worked together on the Disney Channel animated series The Owl House, the latter two being writers on the show, and the former being the series' creator.[5][1][4] In May 2025, Terrace described the series, on social media, as different from The Owl House, describing it as being "much more adult oriented" and having "adult themes," such as "animated blood and gore."[‡ 3][9]
A dedicated 2D animation team was formed within Glitch for the production of Knights of Guinevere.[‡ 4] For animation cleanup and colour, Glitch partnered with the Irish animation studio Studio Meala.[‡ 5] The pilot premiered on 19 September 2025, and was described by Animation Magazine as a "buzzy project, aimed at adult audiences" which makes the "studio's first 2D animated endeavor." Terrace told the publication that the series is a "passion project" and she, Zach and John created "with some of the best artists, animators, musicians and production crew we know," with Glitch Productions CEO Kevin Lerdwichagul telling the same publication that the series represents "an exciting new chapter for Glitch as we expand into 2D animation for the first time....to tell bold, emotionally resonant stories that sit in the underserved space between kids' cartoons and adult comedies."[7] The same publication, and others, reported that fans should "stay tuned" for additional updates on the pilot's possible continuation.[10]
Reception
A teaser trailer for the show was uploaded to Glitch Productions' YouTube channel on 17 January 2025;[1][5] within 24 hours, the trailer received over a million views.[11] Others said that the trailer looks "spectacular" and is "immediately intriguing," with comparisons between Gwen acting like Snow White.[12]
The pilot was positively received. Jon Schwarz, Chief Editor of Bubbleblabber, called it a "psychologically thrilling adventure," delivering a narrative which is gripping and spans genres, blending "a distinctive art style and emotionally resonant storytelling."[10]
