The Smurfs is an upcoming Belgian television series developed by IMPS and Dupuis Audiovisuel. 52 episodes have been produced by Peyo Productions and Dupuis.[3] It will feature full CGI animation similar to that of the animated film Smurfs: The Lost Village. Episodes of the new series will be made of two 11 minute stories.

The series is co produced by Ketnet (Flanders), TF1 (France), KiKa (Germany),[4] RTBF (Wallonia), Peyo Productions and Dupuis Audiovisuel[5][6][7] (the TV branch of the comics publisher). The English version will be aired in the United States on Nickelodeon.[1] The series will comprise new stories rather than adaptations of comics or other older stories.[8]
