Production
Ten years after the last series of Lucky Luke episodes, Xilam has launched the production of new ones. The hope for Marc du Pontavice for this series is that it has to fill in the gap between the series already aired "which have aged" the new episodes "which have not aged". Fifty-two episodes were made with a budget of 120 million francs (just over EUR 18 million). These episodes are new stories written for the series.
- Because he died in July 2001, and the show was not released until September, apart from a few rushes, Morris never viewed the series.
- The series uses the graphic process Morris used that employs colors to differentiate a character according to its value in the (foreground, background), according to his mood state (green rage, ...) or to describe a mood (red fire, night blue, ...).
Some characters are caricatures (Garcimore, Roberto Benigni, Woody Allen, ...)
- This series features new historical characters General Custer, the Lumière brothers, Lola Montez, Buffalo Bill, John Ford, Ulysses S. Grant, Queen Victoria, etc.) or literary Sherlock Holmes, Don Quixote, etc.) .
- An error seems to have occurred in the chronology of events. In episode 47, "A Bone For The Daltons", Lucky Luke states that he knows an archaeologist who he later meets for the first time in the next episode, "The Great Nose Of Talisman".

The series was broadcast in France on channel France 3 in The Minikeums preview. The series was later aired on France 2, Fox Kids /Jetix, Canal J, France 5, and since 7 July 2014, on 6ter.
