‘Asterix & Obelix ‘Return for Battle! ‘The Big Fight’ Premieres April 30!

The legendary Gauls are back! Astérix & Obélix: The Big Fight, a brand-new animated series, is coming to Netflix on April 30. Created by Alain Chabat, the writer and director behind the 2002 hit Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cleopatra, this new adventure brings the classic comic book heroes to life in a fresh and exciting way.

The story takes place in 50 BC, when the Roman Empire has conquered almost all of Gaul. However, one small village still resists, thanks to a powerful magic potion that gives its warriors incredible strength. But trouble arises when the village druid, who makes the potion, loses his memory. Without it, the villagers must find a way to stand up to the mighty Romans on their own.

The show is inspired by The Battle of the Chieftains (Le Combat des Chefs), the seventh book in the beloved Astérix comic series created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. First published in 1964, the book follows a similar plot, where the village struggles after their potion maker forgets his most important recipe.

Alain Chabat leads the project as the creator and co-writer, working alongside Benoît Oullion and Piano. Chabat also directs the series with Fabrice Joubert. The show is produced in French, staying true to its original roots.

The series will be available to stream on Netflix starting April 30. Fans of Astérix can mark their calendars for an action-packed adventure full of humor, clever storytelling, and classic battles.

The official trailer has been released, giving fans a sneak peek at the animation, characters, and exciting moments from the series. Watch the trailer now and get ready for an epic showdown between the Gauls and the Romans!
