Get ready for some serious sleepage.

The anime adaptation of Kagiji Kumanomata’s Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle in set to debut in October.

That’s the word from a new trailer for the series, which came along with a new visual.

We’ve also learned the names of some more stuff members, including:

Assistant director: Sumie Noro (Tada Never Falls in Love)
Sub character designer: Chiaki Nakajima (Love Lab)
Composer: Yukari Hashimoto (Mr. Osomatsu)

Previously announced staff include director Mitsue Yamasaki (How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?) and writer Yoshiko Nakamura (The Helpful Fox Senko-san). The series is animated at Doga Kobo.

Here’s how Viz Media describes the original Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle manga, which started running in 2016:

Sshhh! Princess Syalis is trying to get a good night’s sleep. Some shut-eye. Forty winks. Catch some Z’s. Long ago in olden times when people and demons lived together in—well, disharmony, really – a demon king kidnaps a human princess and imprisons her in his castle. Bereft, the princess’s subjects beat their chests in anguish…until a hero arises to spearhead Project Rescue Our Princess! While waiting for her knight in shining armor, what’s an imprisoned princess to do …? Teddy-bear guards with bat wings are all very well, but her dungeon cell is bo-o-o-ring! So, she decides to wile away the long hours by sleeping. Now if only she could get comfortable…and didn’t suffer from insomnia…
