The Smurfs: Light and Dark/Season 2

Season 2

Season 2 of The Light and Dark Series begins in August and ends in January, ushering in the second year of the timeline.

Season Overview

After the conclusion of Season 1, this season entails the adventures of a newly cursed Sir Johan as he becomes one of the greatest foes to the Smurfs. Under the control of Gargamel, he must overcome an internal battle of morality and pride if he has any chance of returning to the side of Good. Thus, Falla develops stronger ties with Peewit, King Gerard, and Princess Savina while also defending the Smurfs from the villainous trio's treacherous attempts to seek a better life from the dreary hovel.

Meanwhile, starting in "Woeful Smurfs," Moxette faces the fact that she must learn to overcome her taboo crush on Johan. With help from her fellow Smurfs -- especially Brainy, Smurfette, Clumsy, and Hefty -- she might succeed. However, she also faces a new threat: the first Smurf to express his affections for her is revealed in "Somebody's Hidden Talent."

There is more light shed on former one-shot characters like Mystico and Ripple, as well as the introduction of new Sprite species. A Watersprite meets a Firesprite, and an old friend of Ripple's returns to start anew from his jaunty past.

Season Specials

1. Smurfing Over Troubled Water challenges the King's Court on their resourcefulness, endurance, and unity when the Game Master introduces a new, far deadlier game than Wizard's Chess. Without Johan's critical thinking skills to help them, it is up to Falla and Peewit to save Princess Savina and defeat the Game Master, or die trying...
2. The first Holiday Special features one of the most joyous occasions of the year, bringing friends and family together to contribute to the spirit of giving. Without Johan, the holiday is colder than usual for the Smurfs, and their human friends seem to share this despondency. Crestfallen Christmas is the highly extensive telling of the season through the eyes of the young villain whose heart, though shrouded in darkness, remains golden.
3. Following the lack of proper acknowledgement to the Clockwork Smurfs in the previous season, Mechanical Hero is the Season Finale that puts them in the spotlight. When a mysterious "plague" claims countless individuals, the toy Smurfs are the only ones unaffected, and so they set out to save their living counterparts as well as every other creature in the land.
