These professional spies work for WOOHP, a secret organization for the protection of humanity. When their boss Jerry needs their services, he sends them on a mission, after having made them wear tight-fitting full-body suits in colored latex (yellow for Alex, red for Clover and green for Sam) and providing them with gadgets that have become extremely popular, which help them carry out their investigations.
Since its creation in 2001 by David Michel, Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and Gil Formosa, Totally Spies! is a real phenomenon that has won over many children and adolescents. The adventures of Sam, Clover and Alex are inspired by Funny Ladies and the tone of the series, which mixes humor and action, is intended to be a parody of teen films and spy films with numerous references to pop culture and a diversion of stereotypes.
Season 7 of “Totally Spies!” is currently being broadcast on Gulli. The first two seasons are available on Netflix. Seasons 4 to 7 are available on myCANAL.
