The series is set before the events of Puss in Boots (2011)[6] and sees Puss in Boots fight off an endless legion of invaders to protect the previously hidden Spanish town of San Lorenzo, after his actions unintentionally broke the spell that protected its legendary mystic treasure from the outside world. Subsequently, he must find a way to restore the protection spell that will cloak the town once more.
The first season was released on January 16, 2015, on Netflix, when the first five episodes were released, with further episodes released in May and September 2015.[7][8][9] A second season was released on December 11, 2015.[10] The third season was released on July 15, 2016.[11] The fourth season was released on December 16, 2016.[12] The fifth season was released on July 28, 2017.[13] The sixth and final[14] season was released on January 26, 2018.[15]

Bandits: A large group of thieves who try to steal from San Lorenzo, but the town's protector, Puss In Boots always stops them. Some of them also work for El Moco and they ruled over San Lorenzo once but Puss stops them once again.
The series was announced in March 2014 as part of an agreement between Netflix and DreamWorks Animation, under which the studio will develop more than 300 hours of exclusive programming for the service.[23] In 2015, it was stated that a total of 78 episodes were in production for the series, and they were expected to be released in blocks from 2015 onward in a multi-year deal.[24][25]
The New York Times gave the first episode a positive review stating that the show "is nicely drawn, and San Lorenzo is populated with some appealingly odd young residents, human and otherwise." Moreover, they praised the humour stating that it was "relatively sophisticated (you could write a psychological treatise on Dulcinea, who has modeled her life on a somewhat vacuous book of epigrams), but not so sophisticated that children will be left behind."[26]
In 2015, the second episode of the series, "Sphinx", was nominated at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.[27] In 2016, the series won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Casting for an Animated Series or Special.[28]
In April 2016, Titan Comics released the first of a two-issue limited series of comic books as a tie-in to the TV show, under the same title of The Adventures of Puss in Boots.[29]
