Recent shows like Game of Thrones, Miracle Workers, and Disenchantment have done a good job of removing the idealized sheen of our culture’s idea of the Middle Ages. Yes, there were beautiful queens, noble knights, and plenty of chivalry to go around. But there was also war, disease, famine, and more horse poop than you could possibly conceive of. Now Hulu’s Crossing Swords is set to explore the dark side of the medieval world even further.

Crossing Swords is a stop-motion animated comedy from John Harvatine IV and Tom Root (executive producers on Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken). Harantine IV and Root will write all of Crossing Swords’ episodes while Harantine IV also serves as director. As revealed in the first teaser, the animation style on the show will be similar to Robot Chicken’s as all characters will resemble claymation LEGO people (though certainly not actual LEGO people due to extensive copyright law). Still, these blocky folks look like they’re prepared to go through sheer hell in a land of comic violence and unwarranted nudity. If nothing else, Crossing Swords will prove that Hulu has the market cornered on penis-related titles, following its comedy Pen15.

Here is everything we know about Hulu’s Crossing Swords.

Crossing Swords Release Date

Crossing Swords will premiere all 10 of its episodes on Hulu on June 12. Mid-June could mark the beginning of the coronavirus-induced summer drought of entertainment, giving everyone some extra incentive to check this out.
