Trollhunters is an American computer-animated fantasy television series created for Netflix by Guillermo del Toro and produced by DreamWorks Animation and Double Dare You.

The first two episodes of the series premiered on October 8, 2016, at the New York Comic Con. It was released worldwide on Netflix on December 23, 2016. The series was nominated for four Annie Awards in 2017, winning three in the categories of Outstanding Achievement in Character Animation, Character Design, and Storyboarding in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production. On February 9, 2017, Netflix renewed the series for a second season of thirteen episodes, which is set to be released later in 2017. It will be adapted into a comic book by Marc Guggenheim and Richard Hamilton.

Beneath the fictional town of Arcadia lives a secret civilization of trolls, which humans are oblivious to. The trolls' common enemy are the Gumm-Gumms, evil trolls from the Darklands, whom the trolls' chosen warrior, known as the 'Trollhunter', is supposed to protect them from, among other dark miscreants.

Fifteen year-old James 'Jim' Lake Jr and his friend Toby find a mystical amulet which grants him the Trollhunter mantle. He is shortly approached by his new troll mentors, Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!!. Despite his initial reluctance of leading two difficult lives, he eventually accepts his role after discovering that neglecting the amulet will nevertheless lead to its return. During his visits to Heartstone Trollmarket, the presence of the first human Trollhunter stirs resentment, but he quickly gains their honor. Throughout his training and missions, he befriends a gnome (which Toby dubs 'Gnome Chompsky') and discovers that goblins and Changelings (human-morphing trolls that replace humans to spy) are gathering for the completion of Killahead Bridge, which will be a portal for the Gumm-Gumms from the Darklands - the project is being lead by Bular, the son of the Gumm-Gumm's leader Gunmar, and the Changeling replacing Jim's high school teacher Mr. Strickler.

While discovering more mysteries, he is forced to reveal the truth about his life to Claire Nuñez when she becomes a target of the goblins. After he, Toby, Blinky, AAARRRGGHH!!! and Draal infiltrate the gathering and destroy the bridge, Jim is forced to battle Bular and eventually kills him. He returns to Trollmarket, where the citizens celebrate Bular's defeat.
