I spent a couple of years living in Paris as a kid, and that time was full of (among other things)Asterix & Obelix. Reading these simple, joyful comics in their original French was a fabulous way for me to learn the language (Tintinalso did its part). It’s made me a lifelong fan of the characters, so when a new adaptation rolls around I’m always wary.

The show will arrive on Netflix at some point in 2025, according to the end of the teaser trailer embedded above, which leaves a pretty big release window open, but I’d assume it’ll come in the first half of the year. Netflix very rarely trailer series much further in advance than that, after all.

Now, though, it looks like Asterix and his rotund pal Obelix might accidentally be responsible for the incapacitation of that healer, which could level the playing field if the Romans manage to engineer a, well, big fight. Presumably, our heroes will have to come up with another way to win, and that might involve some hijinks.
It looks like a fun setup, but what really has me enthused is that the art style evidenced in that teaser trailer looks amazing, full of bold colours and even some of the impactful textural sounds that mark the source books out (like a big “TCHAC!” when someone gets thwacked). Animated movies aimed at families have levelled up a bit in the last few years, and ho-hum art styles are no longer really considered good enough, so I’m optimistic thatThe Big Fightcan stand out from the crowd.
