It was scheduled for 2019. Then it was scheduled for 2020. Now it's scheduled for 2021. I wonder if they're going to stick to that date or just push the goalposts even further. That sounds like a tease and delay to me.

It could be in development hell but going by those screenshots it looks freaking amazing. I really want to see it move now. I'll wait however long it takes to get it. I have other fandoms to indulge in until then.

I'll wait, but if the Second Coming happens first, all bets are off.

Lots of things I am liking:
-Greedy and Chef being two different Smurfs.
-Dimwitty/Dopey Smurf's presence (FINALLY).
-Grouchy being the one bitten by the fly instead of Lazy.
-Judging from the concept sketches, Papa Smurf seems less patient.
-Smurfette's origin.
All of which is accurate to the comics

IMO, Grouchy becoming Grouchy because of an after-effect of being bitten by the Bzz Fly is a really stupid origin for his character behavior. Just saying.

People aren't born grouchy, like the HB series would have you believe (which is even dumber). They become grouchy, often due to traumatic experiences. Being bitten by a fly and causing a pre-zombie apocalypse fits the bill.
Now, you don't have to like it, but that's THE origin

In fact, when I saw the pitch bible, I realized that the Smurfettes from The Lost Village movie were going to be in that series.
Even Baby Smurf.

That's why there's fanfiction, SomeGuy. At least there characters are always the way some people (namely fanfiction creators) prefer to have them. And that's where I'll leave my discussion with you on that. So enough said.

Well... It's been three months and still no updates yet on the new series.
We already saw the accuracies of the original comics. It's the voice actors and other new stories I'm talking about.

I also have one question to ask in relation to the topic.
If Studio Peyo and Dupuis Audiovisuel were to get a Canadian cast to do the voices for the new series in spirit of the original 1980s cartoon by Hanna-Barbera, what would they be?

THE SMURFS HEAD TO NICKELODEON WITH BRAND-NEW ANIMATED SERIES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS LINE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAFIG BELGIUM AND IMPS
Thursday, June 18, 2020
NEW YORK–June 18, 2020–Nickelodeon, the number-one network for kids, and LAFIG Belgium and IMPS, the worldwide licensors for The Smurfs, are partnering to bring a brand-new original CG-animated series based on the iconic property to a new generation of kids and families around the world. Under the deal, Nickelodeon has licensed the global rights to The Smurfs which follows the beloved characters--Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy, Hefty, Clumsy and others--on all-new adventures, packed with humor, heart and high-stakes action. The series is slated to debut in 2021 in the U.S., followed by Nickelodeon channels internationally.
In addition to the content partnership, ViacomCBS Consumer Products (VCP) will manage consumer products licensing for The Smurfs property across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Malaysia. VCP will seek new merchandising and promotional partners in select categories and territories for The Smurfs classic brand, in addition to a new product line for the new animated series The Smurfs, spanning categories including toys, stationery, apparel and accessories, home, consumer packaged goods and more, to launch at retail in 2022.
The companies declined to describe financial terms of the deal.
“The Smurfs is an iconic global franchise that has resonated with audiences for decades,” said Pam Kaufman, President, ViacomCBS Consumer Products. “By partnering with LAFIG, we are able to join our creative forces to bring an all-new line of consumer products across multiple categories to consumers, along with a fresh and original animated series.”
“The Smurfs have entertained generations of kids and families globally, and we are thrilled to bring these identifiable characters, their stories and universal themes of cooperation, sharing and caring for their community to Nickelodeon,” said Layla Lewis, Senior Vice President, Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships.
“I am extremely proud and happy to have Nickelodeon and its fantastic team to represent our Smurf brand both for the broadcast of our beautiful New TV series and as an agent. We are making history again more than 40 years after the global success of the first TV series of the Smurfs, which is broadcast in more than 100 countries still today! I am convinced that we could not have found a better partner to smurf our beautiful blue planet,” said Véronique Culliford, Founder & President of IMPS/LAFIG.
The Smurfs is produced by Peyo Productions and Dupuis Edition & Audiovisuel. It is directed by William Renaud (Calimero, Casper’s Scare School, A Kind of Magic) and written by Peter Saisselin (Sonic Boom, Alvin!!! And the Chipmunks) and Amy Serafin (Sonic Boom, Alvin!!! And the Chipmunks).
The Smurfs will be overseen by Layla Lewis, Senior Vice President, Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships and Dana Cluverius, Senior Vice President, Current Series Animation.
The Smurfs partnership is part of Nickelodeon’s strategy to be the home for the biggest franchises kids and families love, and it expands Nickelodeon’s growing portfolio of influential properties that already includes SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Blue’s Clues & You!, the first-ever SpongeBob spinoff, Kamp Koral, and an all-new animated Star Trek series.
Created in 1958 by Belgian cartoonist Peyo, pen name of Pierre Culliford (1928-1992), the Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs) evolved from secondary comic characters in Peyo's Johan and Peewit (French: Johan et Pirlouit) comic series and spinning off into their own series the following year, in which they became the small centerpieces of the massive franchise that skyrocketed to global fame with the 1981 launch of The Smurfs (Smurfs' Adventures) Saturday morning cartoon series, which, produced by Hanna-Barbera aired new episodes on NBC until 1989, running for more than 250 episodes and several specials over nine seasons. It would eventually manifest in live-action CG-animation hybrid splendor on the big screen. The 2011 feature film of the same name and its 2013 sequel, The Smurfs 2 were produced by Sony Pictures Animation and released by Columbia Pictures. Hank Azaria and Neil Patrick Harris starred in live-action roles, with voiceovers by Anton Yelchin, Jonathan Winters, Katy Perry (famously providing the voice of Smurfette), Jayma Mays, and George Lopez. A fully CG-animated standalone movie, The Smurfs: Lost Village was released in April 2017, featuring the voices of Demi Lovato, Rainn Wilson, Ellie Kemper, Julia Roberts and Mandy Patinkin. The Smurfs have also featured in two shorts.
The Smurfs' popularity lives on; in March, 3,549 fans thumbed their blue noses at science and gathered in France to break the world record for the largest gathering of Smurfs, despite warnings not to gather in large groups during the global pandemic.
Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures previously attempted to produce a CG-animated Smurfs movie in 2005, with producer Jordan Kerner. The producers conceived the project as a trilogy and aimed to release the first film in 2008 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Smurfs.
This isn’t the first time Nickelodeon tried to bring The Smurfs, as they first attempted to adapt it into an animated feature trilogy with Paramount Pictures back in 2005. Three years later, however, Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation took control of the film rights, where they then produced two successful, yet critically panned live-action/CGI Smurfs films of 2011 and 2013. Sony attempted course-correction with their 2017 fully-animated reboot Smurfs: The Lost Village, but that ended up with disappointing box office returns.

I wonder if ViacomCBS purchases the entire franchise of The Smurfs and Studio Peyo from LAFIG Belgium and IMPS. Just like how they bought Paws Inc. and the whole Garfield franchise

Speaking of ViacomCBS. Now that both Viacom and CBS get back together. I was expecting Disney to make an exchange deal with them, to exchange some people from ABC and ESPN to work on CBS for the 30% of Rainbow S.r.l., including Winx Club.
