Arthur and the Minimoys (Season 2)

Arthur and the Minimoys (Arthur et les Minimoys) is a French animated series by Studio 100 Animation and EuraopaCorp Television. It is based on Luc Besson's "Arthur and the Minimoys" book and novel series, though the series has much changed canon. Unlike Luc, who produced the original movie trilogy and who wanted to produce the planned "Arthur and the Book Of Life" series (which never got real, sadly) the series was produced by Thomas Anargyros and Katell France (who is known for his other children shows like "Maya the Bee", "Apollo's Tall Tales", etc.). It is currently unknown if Luc Besson helps making a project or even knows about it (the series are not very popular in other countries, but yes, the canon is also the problem). Season 1 premiered on September 2018 on the French kids channel TiJi. Season 2 was announced after three years of canceling on July 25. Season 2 promises old and new characters, new animation and being more like the original movie trilogy. There is also a 100% chance that Arthur and Selenia will get together.

New characters
Lola is the new main character in the series. She is a Minimoy from North Korea. Lola is the manager of Music-Propagand. She is very (or too) careful about others and decided to become Arthur's "big sister" "so that he could live for 105839 more years". But despite that, everybody accepts Lola's life advices. She has a crush on one of the members of Music-Propagand. Lola also makes sure that she doesn't get fat, because she wants to become an idol. She supports Arthur and Selenia's crush on each other. Lola is 1113 years old. Her weapon is an Earth Gun.
