This 5th season promises new characters.
They are back, for better and especially for worse.
Les Kassos
, the animated series for adults from Canal +, returns from Monday with a 5th season.
This short program makes fun of the heroes of cartoons, but also of books, comics, films and video games from our childhood.
They become quirky characters, neurotic and overwhelmed by problems.
Problems that lead them to the office of a social worker.

We see, for example, Oui-Oui, now Yeah-Yeah, transformed into a tuning fan who prefers his car to his wife.
In the same vein, Asterix and Obelix become Aspégix and Grosdébilix, two Bretons alcoholics, and therefore addicted to a completely different kind of "magic potion".
The
Kassos
series is a hit
: the first 4 seasons of the series have more than 500 million views on YouTube.
Ten new characters
"What makes the success of the series is its impertinence, and the fact that it is completely in tune with the times and in pop culture," said William Trébutien, the director of this new season.
"It's an easy show to get to grips with. Anything and everything can happen. People appreciate this revival in the characters, and the humor that can sometimes be trashy or creepy."
These ingredients of success are to be found in the 16 episodes of season 5, which welcomes ten new characters.
Among them, the Simpsons, now the Simplons.
Fans of the series will be happy to reunite with the character of the social worker, back after a season of absence.
Les Kassos
season 5 begins at 8:50 p.m. on Canal + Décalé, or online on MyCanal and YouTube.
