Dwight in Shining Armor is a family fantasy TV show airing on BYUtv, premiering in America on March 18, 2019. The show features a present-day teenager who awakens a princess from a 1,000-year magical slumber. Season one (Spring 2019) and Season two (Fall 2019) both contain 10 episodes. In June 2019 the series was approved for two more seasons of 10 episodes.[1]
Plot
Dwight is a present-day teenager who falls into an ancient, underground chamber. He lands on Gretta, a gothic princess who has been magically sleeping for a thousand years. Dwight inadvertently kisses Gretta, breaking the magic spell.
This action also awakens her court magician, Baldric, as well as scores of medieval villains, and makes Dwight her de facto champion until her hordes of enemies are defeated.
Dwight must deal with new role as protector while helping Gretta assimilate into high school life.[2]
Cast and characters
- Sloane Morgan Siegel as Dwight, described as a model Generation Z kid: sensitive, open-minded, health-conscious, responsible, and non-confrontational. He's not really interested in becoming a rough and tough champion. If he has to do this job, he's going to do it his way.[3]
- Caitlin Carmichael as Gretta who comes from a rough and tough gothic war zone. She has no way of understanding 21st century manners or political climate, and she's not really interested in adapting as all the problems from her world have followed her.[3] She is described as more Wonder Woman than fairy tale princess.[4]
- Joel McCrary as Baldric the court magician who placed the spell on Gretta as a last ditch effort to save her life. He is not fond of Dwight as a champion, but is extremely protective of Gretta.
- Danielle Bisutti as Witch Hexela. Hexela and Baldric have a complicated past as former lovers. Hexela originally only desires to keep her youth. However, when she reconciles with Baldric and Gretta she decides to join the team to keep Gretta safe. She uses her magic to keep the team out of trouble whenever the most dire situations arrive.
- Evan Hofer as Chlodwig. Chlodwig was originally Gretta's fiancé. Eventually the two agree to be friends, and he becomes good friends with Dwight. When the situation arrives he trains Dwight in knighthood, but his clumsiness tends to put the group in more comedic situations than they hope to face off with.
