Infobox instructions (only shown in preview)

Totally Spies! is a French anime-influenced animated spy-fi series created by Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and David Michel mainly produced by French company Banijay Kids & Family,[a] with seasons three to five being co-produced with Canadian company Image Entertainment Corporation, and the seventh season by French company Ollenom Studio.[c] It focuses on three teenage girls from Beverly Hills, California, who work as undercover agents for the World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP).

Prior to its debut in France on 3 April 2002 on TF1's TFOU block,[b] the series was first shown in the United States on 3 November 2001 on ABC Family before moving to Cartoon Network, and later to Universal Kids for the sixth season.[4] It premiered in Canada on Teletoon on 2 September 2002 for the English version, and on Télétoon for the French version.[5][6] Since the series debut, 156 episodes were broadcast, comprising six seasons and several specials. An upcoming seventh season is currently scheduled for a 2024 release on Gulli in France, and on Cartoon Network and Discovery Kids internationally.[3]

In France, Totally Spies developed a cult following. The series also spawned a media franchise with several products tied to it, including various comic books, novels and video games. A prequel film, Totally Spies! The Movie, was released theatrically in 2009 in France. A spin-off series titled The Amazing Spiez! premiered in 2009 and ran for two seasons.
