The show was directed by Olivier Jean-Marie and produced by Marc du Pontavice at the Xilam studios in Paris, France. The music for the series was composed by Ramon Pipin and Hervé Lavandier. A theatrical feature-length film directly based on the series titled Go West! A Lucky Luke Adventure was later released in 2007.
Plot
Lucky Luke is a cowboy who shoots faster than his own shadow. With the help of his faithful horse Jolly Jumper (the world's smartest horse) and sometimes also Rintindumb (the world's dumbest dog), he maintains peace and order in the Wild West. He hunts down desperadoes, keeps sharpshooters like Billy the Kid in check and constantly recaptures and returns The Daltons to prison.

Production
Ten years after the last series of Lucky Luke episodes, Xilam has launched the production of new ones. The hope for Marc du Pontavice for this series is that it has to fill in the gap between the series already aired "which have aged" the new episodes "which have not aged". Fifty-two episodes were made with a budget of 120 million francs (just over EUR 18 million). These episodes are new stories written for the series.
- Because he died in July 2001, and the show was not released until September, apart from a few rushes, Morris never viewed the series.
- The series uses the graphic process Morris used that employs colors to differentiate a character according to its value in the (foreground, background), according to his mood state (green rage, ...) or to describe a mood (red fire, night blue, ...).
Some characters are caricatures (Garcimore, Roberto Benigni, Woody Allen, ...)
- This series features new historical characters General Custer, the Lumière brothers, Lola Montez, Buffalo Bill, John Ford, Ulysses S. Grant, Queen Victoria, etc.) or literary Sherlock Holmes, Don Quixote, etc.) .
- An error seems to have occurred in the chronology of events. In episode 47, "A Bone For The Daltons", Lucky Luke states that he knows an archaeologist who he later meets for the first time in the next episode, "The Great Nose Of Talisman".
Broadcast
In France, the show aired on France 2 and France 3, while in Canada, it was broadcast on Télé-Québec.
