Damsel on Netflix isn't your traditional fairy tale story as a princess' happily ever after is brutally shattered when she must fight for survival against a fire-breathing dragon. If you're expecting Prince Charming to come and save the damsel in distress — think again.
Damsel follows Elodie (Millie Bobby Brown), a dutiful young woman who just wants to do what's best for her people. To fulfil his duty to his people and ensure their happiness, Elodie's father Lord Bayford (Ray Winstone) and her stepmother Lady Bayford (Angela Bassett) agree to a wedding proposal for their daughter to marry the Prince of Aurea in exchange for gold.
