The Triplets were created in 1983, based on Capdevila's own daughters, three actual triplets born in 1969. The stories were immediately successful and began publishing in many countries. In 1985 a new character, the "Bored Witch" (La Bruixa Avorrida, in Catalan) was added to the plots to form a collection of classical stories, "The Triplets and (...)".
In 1994, television producer Cromosoma and the Catalan TV corporation Televisió de Catalunya adapted the stories to make an animated series based on the books. It became very successful and profitable and led to the production of a second series with the Bored Witch as the main character, together with France 3, Canal J and Storimages .[1]
By 2004, The Triplets series consisted of 104 episodes, while The Bored Witch reached 52. They have been translated from Catalan to 35 different languages and have been shown in 158 countries or territories. A spin-off series was also made, titled The Baby Triplets.
In October 2020, it was announced that the series would receive a reboot that would focus 20 years after the first one ended.[2]
The plots of the triplet sisters follow a definite pattern. Sometimes they play some prank or manage to annoy the Bored Witch, and, to punish them, she sends them into a classic tale, legend, or children's or adult's (such as Frankenstein or The Phantom of the Opera) literary work. The main structure of the classic remains, but some twists (often hilarious anachronisms such as showing The forty thieves getting distracted from robbing a house by a camel race on TV or Dr. Frankenstein as a veterinarian) are introduced to favor each plot and define the sisters' personalities.
The Triplets find themselves involved in a different classic story in each chapter.
