I’m French Canadian, and like most francophones around the world, I grew up with Asterix, his sidekick Obelix and loyal companion Dogmatix. We built a great relationship of trust and mutual respect around our love for these characters. I have been talking with Celeste Surugue at Albert Rene for years about how to bring Asterix to Netflix. I’m thrilled that Alain Chabat is coming back to Asterix for the first time since then, and that it's on Netflix. He wrote and directed 2002’s Mission Cléopâtre,’ the most successful of Asterix’s numerous appearances on screen and the third highest-grossing feature film in French history. Renowned French auteur and playwright Alain Chabat will direct and Alain Goldman (Legende Films) will produce.Īlain Chabat is no stranger to this iconic property. We’re partnering with Hachette’s Les Editions Albert René to create the first-ever animated limited series based on the timeless classic.
I’m excited to announce that Netflix and France’s leading publisher are teaming up to present Asterix, an iconic figure of French popular culture, to a new generation of worldwide viewers.
