''Galavant'' is a musical-comedy series set to air on {{Creator/ABC}} during the midseason break during winter 2014/2015 (bridging the gap between season halves of ''Series/OnceUponATime''). The series follows the exploits of the knight Galavant, who lost his true love to the evil King Richard. Despondent, Galavant is approached by Isabella, the princess of Valencia. Her kingdom has come under attack, and she wants Galavant to liberate it. Problem is, Galavant has spent the time since his ordeal drinking and sleeping. Along the way are laughs, epic battles, and songs.

* ShoutOut: On the way to Valencia, the group comes across a road sign pointing towards their destination, as well as [[Series/GameOfThrones Winterfell]] in the opposite direction.
* SoundtrackDissonance: "She'll Be Mine" is a sweet little tune by King Richard about violently murdering Galavant in from of Madalena in order to seduce her.



* YourMom: Jean Hamme loves them, for which Galavant chides him that they're getting old ''in 1256''.
