Our Review
Galavant (2015) is a comedy and fantasy series from ABC. It has built a run of 18 episodes at roughly 30 minutes each. It premiered on January 4, 2015. Viewers rate it 7.8 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 2 seasons.
What Galavant Is About
Once upon a time, the dashing hero Galavant lost the love of his life, Madalena, to the evil King Richard. Now, our fallen hero is ready to take revenge and restore his “happily ever after”. But it won’t be without a few twists and turns along the way.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 30 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 18 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its comedy/fantasy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Joshua Sasse, Timothy Omundson and Karen David to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Joshua Sasse, Timothy Omundson, Karen David, Luke Youngblood, Mallory Jansen and Vinnie Jones lead the cast.
Key roles include Joshua Sasse as Prince Galavant; Timothy Omundson as King Richard; Karen David as Isabella; Luke Youngblood as Sid; Mallory Jansen as Madalena.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy, fantasy and music have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside ABC’s other originals, a 7.8/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2015 and carried by ABC with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy and fantasy viewers.
How Galavant Compares
If Galavant lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy/fantasy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream

On the whole Galavant is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Joshua Sasse and Timothy Omundson doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy/fantasy roots, It has held up since 2015 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Galavant is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy and fantasy lane, at 18 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.8/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.8/10. Watch it if you want comedy/fantasy you can settle into.
