It’s the day you’ve all been waiting for, everyone! Galavant triumphantly returns with its second season tonight.
If you watched Galavant last year and weren’t thrilled about it, you were probably surprised when it got renewed for a second season — heck, everyone was! And what’s great is that even the show has been able to make fun of its low ratings and predicted failure, as tonight’s premiere episode is called, “A New Season… aka Suck It Cancellation Bear.”
If you’re unaware, Cancellation Bear is a Twitter account that likes to predict whether or not shows will be cancelled, and if so they’re essentially “bear chow.” Well, folks, Galavant premieres tonight and now the Cancellation Bear is not the happiest bear in the woods:
The Bear and his former minder are well aware of the title of “Galavant’s” Season 2 premiere. Thank you for repeatedly pointing it out.

In fact, tonight’s premiere song is going to be all about how there is a second season. You can check out their opening number before the show premieres tonight. It features Hugh Bonneville, Joshua Sasse, and the rest of the cast.
Season 2 is going to follow the story of King Richard and Galavant as they continue their mission to save Princess Isabella, who’s trapped in a box by her cousin waiting for her to say yes to his proposal.
And, as usual, don’t forget that every week Galavant will be airing two episodes back-to-back for its entire five-week run, running at 30 minutes each. If you haven’t been able to catch up with season 1, or you haven’t watched the show at all, you can actually get the entire first season for free on iTunes!
The synopsis for tonight’s first two episodes reads, “In the first half-hour of this Galavant, ‘A New Season aka Suck it Cancelation Bear,’ bad advice results in Galavant and the crew being shipwrecked, and they end up traveling by foot in order to get back to Richard’s kingdom. Later, Galavant and King Richard find themselves at The Enchanted Forest Pub in West Hollow-wood where they are forced into working there by the owner who sees Galavant in a different light. Meanwhile in Valencia, Madalena rules as Queen, and Gareth demands his due when he is announced as King, with Sid as his assistant. Elsewhere in Hortensia, Isabella is imprisoned in her jewel box by her 12-year-old cousin as her parents prepare for their wedding.
In the second half-hour, ‘World’s Best Kiss,’ Galavant and Richard see a fortune teller who is able to connect Galavant to Isabella using a crystal ball. Isabella receives Galavant’s ‘call’ as she is plotting her escape from Hortensia. Unfortunately, it’s a ‘bad connection,’ and Isabella hears only every other word. She is devastated by the call, but Galavant believes it went well. He promises to return to her as soon as he drops Richard off at his castle. The only problem is that Richard’s castle seems to have disappeared.”
