Feeling Blue? Well here’s some good news the Smurfs are back!
Licensors for the Smurfs, LAFIF Belgium, and IMPS have partnered with the ViacomCBS cable network to bring back the Smurfs in a new series. Set to premiere in 2021 the computer-animated series will feature all our favorite Smurfs from Papa Smurf, Brainy, Smurfette, and the rest of the gang.
In addition to the new series ViacomCBS, Consumer Products will be managing the licensing for the product line for 5 countries including North America. There will be a new series of products and other items that are related to the Smurfs classic brand. I foresee a lot of blue in my house very soon.

Mamma, Mimi, Michele, call out any one of those names and I will answer. There are several hats on my shelf. My passions are photography, being outside, movies, tv, pop culture and anything haunted or spooky. People are my other interest, I love meeting new people and socializing. When I lived in Savannah GA I worked as a tour guide both haunted and historical tours. I met people from all over the world, that was the best part of the job. All of this I can write about too, that’s the beauty of being a writer.
