The very first trailer for Netflix’s Spellbound is here, not only showcasing a visually stunning fantasy world, but an intriguing story about a young Princess whose parents turn into literal monsters.

The star studded cast includes Rachel Zegler, John Lithgow, Jenifer Lewis, Nathan Lane, Tituss Burgess, Javier Bardem, and Nicole Kidman.
Spellbound follows Princess Ellian on a quest to return her parents to their former selves after they ender the dark forest and turned into monsters. She enlists the help of the Oracle of the Moon and the Oracle of the Sun in order to save her kingdom and her family.
The teaser trailer does not give away too much, but simply hints at the epic adventure that Ellian will be going on with her monster parents. We know that Spellbound is a musical, so we can only imagine what catchy songs will accompany such stunning sequences.

Ellian’s parents don’t talk much at first in their monstrous forms, but when they do they’re voiced by a pair of Oscar winners: Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, the article says. The trailer delivers on gorgeously detailed visuals, comedy, and adventure.
Spellbound also boasts an incredibly talented cast. Rachel Zegler has a powerhouse voice, and castmates Javier Bardem and Nathan Lane are also known to carry a tune, so we cannot wait to hear the songs that are featured in Spellbound.
