Guillermo Del Toro originally intended to create a live-action series called "Trollhunters", but due to budgetary concerns it was deemed to be impractical. He instead made it into a book he co-wrote alongside Daniel Kraus. Guillermo then pitched a animated the show to DreamWorks but they then planned to make an animated film adaptation of the book, but they eventually decided to make it back into a television series instead to expand the story.
On November 6, 2017, Guillermo Del Toro announced that the Trollhunters universe would be expanded into a trilogy of sequel spin-offs: 3Below (the second installment) and Wizards (the third and final installment).
All three of the installments, Trollhunters, 3Below, and Wizards, have been released worldwide, consisting of 88 episodes in total. The final installment of the franchise, Wizards, was originally set to be released at the end of 2019, but due to production issues, it was instead pushed to the summer of 2020 as a limited series.
In December 2017, it was revealed that two characters from Trollhunters ― Steve Palchuk and Eli Pepperjack (voiced by Steven Yeun and Cole Sand, respectively) ― will have their roles extended into 3Below. In April 2018, it was announced that the role of Jim Lake Jr. would incorporate both the voices of the late Anton Yelchin and Emile Hirsch for the entirety of Part Three (and, by extension, the trilogy itself), and the two characters introduced in Part Three of Trollhunters ― Aja and Krel Tarron (voiced by Tatiana Maslany and Diego Luna, respectively) ― will also reprise their roles and serve as the main leads of 3Below.
Since its release, the Tales of Arcadia franchise has been widely praised as an ambitious and boundary-pushing animated series, with Filmink's Travis Johnson calling it "...the best children's animation to come along since Avatar: The Last Airbender." The series was nominated for nine Daytime Emmy Awards in 2017, winning more than any other animated or live-action television program that year. It has also received or been nominated for a BAFTA Award, several Annie Awards, Kidscreen Awards, Golden Reel Awards and a Saturn Award.
The trilogy has also spawned several books and a series of graphic novels by Marc Guggenheim and Richard Hamilton released by Dark Horse, and a video game, Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows.
Arcadia Oaks may seem like an ordinary, sleepy suburban town.
However, unbeknownst to many of its people who reside in this seemingly ordinary community, it holds some amazing secrets under their very noses: civilized trolls thriving peacefully underneath the town's streets, alien royalty hiding diligently in the town's neighborhoods, and mysterious wizards walking obscurely amongst the town's residents.
Ferocious trolls and magic beasts from underground, royal aliens and spaceships from up above, powerful wizards and ancient tomes from side-to-side: magic and technology is everywhere!
However, it also attracts some very nasty visitors who want nothing more than to claim it all so they can rule and destroy the entire universe. It's all up to Arcadia's young teenage heroes and their loyal allies who are the only ones who can stop the evil lurking within the supernatural... all while balancing their normal high-school lives and saving the world like your average, everyday teenager.
