The trailer has arrived for Crossing Swords, an upcoming stop-motion animated series that, clearly, won’t be for kids. The plot follows a nice-guy peasant who lands a role as a squire at the royal castle. But it takes a sour turn when he learns of the crazy-horny monarchs in charge and the crooks in every corner. And to make things worse, upon learning of his big new job, his siblings soon return to make life hell.

Featuring a voice cast that includes Nicholas Hoult, Luke Evans, Alanna Ubach, Maya Erskine, Yvette Nicole Brown, Seth Green and Tony Hale, Crossing Swords premieres on Hulu on June 12.
