'Hilda' Final Season Trailer Released By Netflix
A magical ending is upon us on December 7
It’s been nearly three years since the second season of beloved Emmy-, BAFTA- and Annie-winning animated series Hilda released on Netflix, and just about two since the movie, Hilda and the Mountain King. The series’s third season being its last has been known for quite a while. With that final season releasing December 7, as announced in September, the streamer has released the trailer.
The trailer, which IGN apparently got the exclusive on and released before Netflix themselves did, sees Hilda and her mother collecting fireflies and getting a letter from grandma, and she eventually does come visit. Hilda will always have family. There’s floofy flying cat creatures and rafting over waterfalls, catapults and swordfights, and beings ascending. All sorts of threats await. The official synopsis describes that Hilda is “lured into a mystical realm that will lead her to a deeper understanding of her family’s hidden history and long-buried truths about herself.” The season will run eight episodes, which with a 70 minute series finale means it’s running about the length of ten.
The series stars The Last of Us’s Bella Ramsey as the feisty blue-haired hero who travels from home to a vast magical wilderness of elves and giants and the city of Trolberg, discovering and befriending them and other mysterious creatures. Some of those can be stronger, and more dangerous than she ever expected. It is based on Luke Pearson’s graphic novel series of the same name, drawing on elements of Scandinavian folklore for the coming-of-age tale as the young girl explores her complicated relationship with her mother.
Ramsey believes three seasons makes a good endpoint for the series. “ I think a lot of series make the mistake of going on too long and doing too many seasons and then it just ends up that the story keeps getting repeated. So I think it's just the perfect time for it to wrap up. And that could be this really beautiful, succinct three-season thing.” She elaborates, “All the loose ends have sort of been tied up and it's time for it to finish, which I'm obviously sad about because I've been doing Hilda since I was quite young. But I do think it's the right decision”. Hilda’s journey concludes on December 7, check out the trailer below.
