British actress Genevieve Allenbury has been cast in ABC’s musical comedy pilot Galavant. The show is a fairy tale-inspired series created by Dan Fogelman, blending musical numbers with a satirical take on medieval heroism.
Allenbury will play Lady Belle, a character described as strong-willed and sharp-tongued, bringing both comedic flair and dramatic weight to the ensemble. Her addition adds a dose of classic British charm to the project.
Galavant centers around a dashing knight who embarks on a quest for revenge against the king who stole his true love. The show mixes romance, adventure, and music in a playful and unconventional format.
The project is notable for its ambition, combining the tone of classic fantasy with Broadway-style performances and fast-paced humor. It stands out as one of ABC’s most experimental comedies in development.
Allenbury’s role adds to the growing list of UK actors crossing over into American television. Her participation signals the show’s broad appeal and highlights the global nature of today’s TV landscape.
