Alien Dunk is a new French animatedseries currently in development, scheduled for 2026. Created by Rémi Guérin, Christophe Fossard and Audrey-Anne Bazard, it blends action, science fiction, comedy and sports, drawing inspiration directly from basketball player Victor Wembanyama. Broadcast on the TF1 group's TFOU youth channel, the series aims to appeal to a wide audience with an intergalactic adventure featuring a brand-new hero.
Alien Dunk will be broadcast on TF1, in the TFOU youth channel, from 2026.
Synopsis: What if intergalactic peace were being played out on a basketball court? When the Starball competition is threatened by corruption, Zarastra, a former champion, calls on Victor, a young Earth prodigy nicknamed "The Alien". With his sister Eve, he breaks with tradition and founds the first inter-species team: the Alien Dunk. Together, they must join forces and confront Vortax, a tyrant in the making, to preserve universal peace.
A rising star in the NBA and voted "Rookie of the Year", Victor Wembanyama is a direct inspiration for the series' hero. For maximum authenticity, the basketball player took part in motion capture sessions, reproducing his iconic gestures and posture. This work ensures a realistic rendering of the central character and reinforces the credibility of the project with young sports and animation fans.
Developed by PGS Entertainment in partnership with TFOU, the series will feature 26 22-minute episodes produced by STIM Studio, already behind international projects such as Le Robot Sauvage, Garfield and Tom & Jerry. Designed as a 360° franchise, Alien Dunk will be accompanied by transmedia content including webtoons, video games, editions and interactive experiences.
Designed primarily for children aged 6 to 10, Alien Dunk combines humor, adventure and sports competition in a futuristic universe. It could also appeal to a family audience with a taste for basketball and science fiction. The series follows in the footsteps of international children's productions such as Sonic Boom or Galactik Football, with an added dimension thanks to the direct involvement of a world-renowned player.
Alien Dunk is a Frenchanimated series scheduled for 2026 on TF1.
