On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Netflix launched the series Asterix & Obelix: The Battle of the Chiefs, which marks the grand return of Alain Chabat to the universe created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. What did the fans think?
Alain Chabat's new gem
After a very long wait, the series Asterix & Obelix: The Battle of the Chiefs, which adapts the seventh installment of the adventures of our Indomitable Gauls, is finally released on Netflix. As a reminder, this is the new foray of the great Alain Chabat into the world of Goscinny and Uderzo, more than twenty years after the triumph of Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra. The series, five episodes of about half an hour each, perfectly blends the humor of the former Les Nuls with that of Asterix. Accumulating references to French culture, the series is also a spectacular show, thanks to exceptional animation, heavily inspired by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The series was obviously very warmly received by the French-speaking press, which praised Alain Chabat's undeniable love for the original material. It also seems that the public has greatly appreciated the new work from the creator of Didier and Burger Quiz, as illustrated by the many very positive reactions to the series Asterix & Obelix: The Battle of the Chiefs in the hours following its release on Netflix.

The Asterix series on Netflix is a real banger, in fact it's like a big movie but if they had cut it into a series, it could be watched in one go easily, and in terms of story, humor, animation, dubbing, and references it's a real banger
