The Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs) is a Belgian computer-animated television series developed by Dupuis Audiovisuel, IMPS, and Peyo Productions.[4][5] It is the second television show based on the Smurf characters, after the original 1981 series of the same name.

The series was almost entirely produced in Belgium, with 75% of the animation completed at Dupuis' DreamWall animation studio in the city of Charleroi.[2] Its CGI animation style is mainly based on the film Smurfs: The Lost Village.

The show was first announced by Peyo Productions in 2017.[6] The next year, its European broadcasters were announced: Ketnet (Flanders),[7] TF1 (France), KiKA (Germany),[8] and La Trois (Wallonia). In 2020, it was reported that the broadcast rights had been picked up by the American entertainment brand Nickelodeon for several of its channels,[9] but the airing agreement does not extend to the original 1980s Smurfs series (which continues to be distributed by Warner Bros. in North America).

After 18 months on pay-TV, The Smurfs will stream on Netflix in the United States and abroad.[10] The series made its world premiere on April 18, 2021, on the La Trois channel in Belgium.[2]
