Season one · coming Fall 2026
Six tales.
Zero fairy godmothers.*
Season One digs up the most famous stories ever told, the way they were told before the movies. Griffin reads them aloud to two robots hearing them for the very first time. New episodes weekly once we launch.
*But there may be a fairy godpigeon.
The Little Mermaid
Hans Christian Andersen, 1837
In the original, every step she takes feels like walking on knives, and there is no wedding at the end. Oh yes, and air fairies?
Aladdin
One Thousand and One Nights (Galland version), 1710s
The original is set in China, there are TWO genies, and the sorcerer does not give up nearly as easily as you remember.
Cinderella
Brothers Grimm (Aschenputtel), 1812
No fairy godmother. But no promises that there is not a fairy godpigeon instead. Oh, and the stepsisters will do anything to make that slipper fit. Anything.
Rapunzel
Brothers Grimm, 1812
It all starts because someone's dad stole salad from a witch's garden. Seriously. Salad. And it didn't even have dressing.
Beauty and the Beast
Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, 1756
No talking teapots. No singing candlestick. Just an empty castle, a strange bargain, and two very jealous sisters.
The Snow Queen
Hans Christian Andersen, 1844
The story that (very loosely) inspired a certain icy blockbuster: a broken mirror, a splinter of ice in a boy's heart, and the girl who walks across the world to fix it.
