It follows the story of James Lake Jr., a teenage boy who finds a mysterious amulet and stumbles across a secret realm inhabited by trolls and other magical creatures. Soon afterward, he and his friends are charged with protecting our world from the dangerous monsters that lurk in the shadows of their small suburban town. The first two episodes of the series premiered on October 8, 2016, at the New York Comic Con. The first season was released worldwide on Netflix on December 23, 2016. The second season premiered on December 15, 2017, and the third and final season premiered on May 25, 2018. Since its release, Trollhunters has been widely praised as an ambitious and boundary - pushing animated series, with Filmink 's Travis Johnson calling it ``... the best children 's animation to come along since Avatar : The Last Airbender. '' The series was nominated for nine Daytime Emmy Awards in 2017, winning more than any other animated or live - action television program that year. In its first two seasons, it has also received or been nominated for several Annie Awards, Kidscreen Awards, and a Saturn Award. The show has also spawned several original children 's books and has been adapted into a series of graphic novels by Marc Guggenheim and Richard Hamilton, released by Dark Horse. Anton Yelchin continued to be part of the series through the first two seasons, as he had recorded enough dialogue to complete them before his sudden death. Yelchin was also able to provide a portion of dialogue for the final season, while the remaining portions of dialogue was recorded by Emile Hirsch. Following the show 's success, Guillermo del Toro announced that Trollhunters will be the first chapter in a trilogy of television series entitled Tales of Arcadia. The story will be continued in a science fiction inspired follow - up series entitled 3Below, and the trilogy will be concluded in a third and final fantasy series entitled Wizards.

Please help improve them by removing unnecessary details and making them more concise. ( May 2018 ) Part 1 Beneath the 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. The trolls ' chosen warrior, known as the `` Trollhunter '', is supposed to protect them from the Gumm - Gumms along with other dark miscreants from the Darklands. 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 to lead a double life, he eventually accepts his role after discovering that attempting to discard the amulet will cause it to return to him on its own. During his visits to Heartstone Trollmarket, the presence of the first human Trollhunter stirs resentment, but he quickly gains their acceptance. Throughout his training and missions, he befriends a gnome ( who Toby dubs `` Gnome Chompsky '' ) and discovers that goblins and Changelings ( human - morphing trolls that replace humans to spy ) are gathering for the completion of the Killahead Bridge, a portal through which the Gumm - Gumms from the Darklands will arrive and invade. The project is being led by Bular, Gumm - Gumm leader Gunmar 's son, and Walter Strickler, a Changeling who is Jim 's high school teacher. While discovering more mysteries, Jim is forced to reveal the truth about his life to Claire Nuñez when she becomes a target of the goblins. Jim and his allies launch a surprise attack on Bular and his henchmen, destroying the bridge and closing the portal. Jim is forced to battle Bular. They fight and with aid from AAARRRGGHH ! ! !, Jim succeeds in slaying him. He returns to Trollmarket, where the citizens celebrate Bular 's defeat. Shortly afterward, Claire proposes a quest into the Darklands to rescue her baby brother Enrique, who has been replaced by a Changeling who they dub NotEnrique. The spirits of past Trollhunters inform Jim that the only way to get out of the Darklands alive is to kill Gunmar. Blinky discovers that the only way to kill Gunmar is with the three Triumbric Stones. Meanwhile, Strickler has freed ancient troll assassin Angor Rot from his bonds. Using Angor 's ring, he forces Angor to obey him. Jim and the gang hunt for the Stones while Strickler has Angor create a binding spell that ties Strickler 's fate to Jim 's mother in order to ensure that Jim can not kill Strickler. During one particular confrontation with Angor Rot, Angor manages to take one of the Triumbric Stones, although Claire takes his Shadow Staff in the process. While trying to steal the stone from Angor, Jim indirectly causes Angor 's ring to break. Angor Rot goes on a rampage, attempting to kill Strickler and Jim. In the process, Strickler and Jim 's mother are both injured. Trollmarket 's leader, Vendel, informs Jim that the only way to save his mother is to break the binding spell that ties her and Strickler 's fates together. However, his mother 's memories of the troll world, including the fact that her son is the Trollhunter, are erased. Meanwhile, Strickler coaches Jim on cutting Angor Rot 's removable stone - like eye, which they acquired, into a Triumbric - like stone to help him defeat Angor. Strickler also reveals to Jim that he had the last Triumbric Stone all along ; he gives it to Jim before leaving town. Angor Rot invades Trollmarket after stealing a key from Claire. Jim and his allies defeat him, but not before AAARRRGGHH ! ! ! takes a hit from his poison dagger and turns to stone. The group is in mourning. Believing that he is responsible for the death of AAARRRGGHH ! ! ! and the ongoing endangerment of his friends, Jim sets off to the Darklands alone, not wanting to lose any more of them. Part 2 Jim returns Enrique, but ends up trapped in the Darklands. He is rescued by his friends along with former antagonist Nomura. AAARRRGGHH ! ! ! is revived with a potion, and is welcomed back by his friends. Gunmar also escapes the Darklands with Dictatious, Blinky 's presumed - dead brother, and a couple soldiers. They meet up with the Janus Order, an organization dedicated to Gunmar 's return. Blinky finds out Dictatious is supportive of Gunmar, much to his dismay. Meanwhile, the fact that Gunmar is out from his prison makes Jim guilty in the eyes of Troll Law. Gunmar battles and enslaves Draal, as a means of torturing Jim. Jim is guided by Merlin 's spirit imbued in the amulet he carries. Queen Usurna, who leads the Troll Tribunal, kills Vendel in secret, but is unaware that Vendel secretly records it in a special troll device. It is revealed that Usurna is faithful towards Gunmar rather than the welfare of Troll society and that she schemes with Gunmar 's counsel to bring about Gunmar 's return. Gunmar invades Trollmarket and closes off the underground city. Gunmar drains energy from the Heartstone and regains his strength. He forcibly converts many of the Trolls into his soldiers. Jim and his cohorts retreat from the city to Arcadia with as many Trolls as they can save using Claire 's magic staff. With the excessive use of dark magic, Claire comes under the spell of Morgana and secretly brings to her Angor Rot 's damaged head. Part 3 Merlin is awakened, and Morgana is released from her prison by the Staff of Avalon. Barbara recovers her memories of knowing about Trolls, forcing Jim and his friends to reveal the truth to their families. Angor Rot is resurrected by Morgana. To better fight against Gunmar and Morgana, Jim is irreversibly transformed into a half - troll. Morgana brings forth the Eternal Night so that she and Gunmar can freely invade the world. Jim and his allies fight and win the battle, Jim killing Gunmar and Claire trapping Morgana in the Shadow Realm with help from Angor Rot, who sacrifices himself to help defeat the witch. Merlin leads the Trolls of Arcadia to a new home in New Jersey. Jim and Claire say goodbye to their families and friends ( including Toby ) as they leave with the Trolls.

Production Initially, del Toro envisioned the idea as a live - action television series ; however this was deemed impractical due to budgetary concerns, and as a result he instead turned the idea into a book. DreamWorks then planned to turn the book into an animated feature film. The feature film was going to be directed by Guillermo del Toro and Rodrigo Blaas. Eventually Dreamworks decided to instead turn it into a TV series with Netflix. Rodrigo Blaas became an Executive Producer and Supervising Director on the series.. Del Toro modeled the show 's sensibilities after shows he grew up with such as Johnny Quest, identifying them as `` really earnest and emotionally beautiful ''. To this end, he sought to make the main character of Jim `` in that ' 70s mold, '' and `` really a very good boy '' with del Toro noting that this was a constant struggle for him to express to both writers and actors. Eventually he came across Anton Yelchin, who embodied those qualities although by del Toro 's estimate it still took him a few sessions to fully understand the character. When creating the show 's narrative, del Toro noted that he wanted a `` bittersweet journey '' for the main character dealing with issues that most such `` power fantasies '' failed to address, telling indiewire `` I wanted to say, ' Look, you can be in high school and you can have your problems. Then you get all these powers and then you have a different set of problems. There is not such a thing as a final, great outcome. ' '' The show serves as one of Yelchin 's final projects as he died shortly after recording most of his character 's dialogue. Producer del Toro refused to replace his recordings, which del Toro noted was a challenge for the show 's recording engineers. Of his decision del Toro stated that the actor `` was proud of what he did, and we were so proud of how he did it. '' Del Toro added that his experience as a father and Yelchin 's young age were also factors that led to the decision.
