US EditionAsterix, Obelix and Netflix: US streamer embraces Gallic heroes
- Netflix will debut a new five-episode animated series on Wednesday that adapts the 1966 comic "Asterix and the Big Fight," releasing it across 190 countries with versions in 38 different languages.
- This release comes after several high-profile French films, including a 2023 installment set in China directed by Alain Chabat, which broadened the franchise's international presence despite receiving mixed critical reactions.
- The mini-series follows the Gallic rebels Asterix and Obelix as they defend their unyielding village against Roman occupation, all while dealing with the challenge of having lost the secret recipe for their magic potion.
- Celeste Surugue, who leads the Editions Albert Rene publishing house, highlighted that streaming services have the advantage of reaching audiences without the usual distribution limitations, commending Netflix's performance in this regard.
- The mini-series seeks to expand its audience by appealing especially to viewers in regions like the United States and Asia, where Asterix and Obelix have yet to gain widespread recognition despite their global popularity.
