The Adventures of Bernie (French: Les Aventures de Bernie) is a French animated slapstick comedy television series created by Alexandre Simard Mathieu Peters-Houg Lucille Briand based on the character created by Olivier Jean-Marie Claude-William Trébutien directed by Richard Méril and produced by Xilam Animation. The series' premise focuses on the lives of Zig, a brown hyena, and Sharko, a great white shark, over their conflicts regarding the mermaid Marina, in which Zig seeks to devour her while Sharko loves and protects her. The series employs silent comedy: characters either do not speak; rather they use unintelligible vocalizations, gestures, and occasional pictograms in speech balloons.

One season with a total of 10 half-hour episodes (30 three-minute segments) were originally broadcast on October 3, 2022, followed by an official premiere on November 21, 2021 on YouTube, with the first season airing on Cartoonito, and reruns airing on K2. A first season was announced in June 2023. A first season was announced in 2022 and first aired in October 2023 on Gulli and M6.
