The irreducible Gauls are back in 2025 with a new animated series adapted from the cult album Le Combat des Chefs by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. Under the direction ofAlain Chabat, creator of the legendary Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, this revisited version promises to delight long-standing fans while appealing to a new audience, thanks to modern animation and humor faithful to the spirit of the creators.
Asterix & Obelix: Le Combat des Chefs will be available on Netflix in 2025.
Synopsis: The druid Panoramix loses his marbles and the recipe for the magic potion after receiving a menhir on the head, accidentally thrown by Obelix... An amnesia that comes at a bad time: Abraracourcix, chief of the indomitable Gauls, has just been challenged by one of his counterparts, Aplusbégalix, during a battle of the chiefs. If he loses, his Gaulish village will fall to the invaders...
Asterix & Obelix: le Combat des Chefs is aimed at a broad family audience, from those nostalgic for comic books to younger generations seduced bymodern animation. Fans of theAsterix universe will be delighted to rediscover iconic characters such asAsterix, Obelix, Getafix and Abraracourcix, in a storyline faithful to the spirit of Goscinny and Uderzo.
Alain Chabat 's arrival at the helm of this project is a major asset. His film adaptation Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra is still regarded as a staple of French comedy. With its offbeat humor and punchy dialogue, this new series could well reinvent adventure while remaining faithful to the original material.
The animated format also brings a new visual dynamic, faithfully reproducing the colorful, detailed world of the comics. Alain Chabat, known for his ability to combine visual humor with polished dialogue, promises an adaptation that is as entertaining as it is respectful of Goscinny and Uderzo's work. The album Le Combat des Chefs (1966), from which this series is derived, is one of the most popular Asterix adventures for its incredible plot and colorful characters.
With Asterix & Obelix: Le Combat des Chefs, Alain Chabat returns to offer viewers an animated adventure faithful to the cult universe of Goscinny and Uderzo. With its mix of humor, epic adventures and modern animation, this adaptation promises to appeal to fans of all generations.
