==Plot==

Line 51 ⟶ 58:

In the [[Cliffhanger|cliffhanger finale]], it is revealed that Prof. Tyron has been married to Anthea for four years now, making him Aelita's stepfather. Tyron attempts to coerce Aelita into telling her friends to abort their plan to destroy the Cortex and coming with him, as he has legal custody of her, or risk never seeing her mother again. Aelita ultimately chooses to forsake her mother and go through with their original plan, and Tyron orders his subordinates to shut down his supercomputer while the Lyoko Warriors are still inside. They barely escape, having just injected Jeremy's virus into the core of the Cortex, which means that XANA would be destroyed upon rebooting of Tyron's supercomputer, unless either XANA was able to back itself up, or Tyron is able to repair his supercomputer, and by extension, XANA along with it; never truly confirming whether XANA was entirely destroyed a second time nor the identities of the Ninjas and the long awaited reunion between Aelita and Anthea.

According to Sophie Decroisette, head writer for the [[Code Lyoko|original show's]] first 3 seasons, ''Evolution'' is not considered canon to the original show.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=TNbLcNNufwySKZf6&v=O-54txNxIYQ&feature=youtu.be |title=Exclusive interview with the creators of Code Lyoko... a potential sequel ft.

=== Main ===

'''Jeremie Belpois''' ''(French: Jérémie Belpois)''

:Portrayed by: Marin Lafitte

Line 93 ⟶ 102:

:The temporary seventh member of the Lyoko Warriors. She's a highly intelligent student, rivaling Jeremy in class, and has a keen interest in computing. She discovers Lyoko, the factory, and the Supercomputer after following William to the factory without his noticing. Her main role is to assist Jeremy in matters that even Aelita could not help in, such as advanced coding and constructing viruses. She is generally viewed with suspicion by the others due to her uninitiated status. She lacks sympathy towards Aelita's situation and enjoys spending time with Jeremy, so Aelita displays some animosity towards her. When Laura rebels against Jeremy, goes to the factory with William and sends him to the Cortex, William nearly gets captured by XANA as he did in the original series. After the Lyoko Warriors stop the Scyphozoa from fully possessing William, Jeremy kicks Laura out of the group and erases her memories of the factory, the supercomputer and Lyoko. However, due to having a certain card in her bag, she inadvertently and unknowingly gives Tyron direct information on the whereabouts of his teenage adversaries. She appeared in just twelve episodes. She shares the last name of Theo Gauthier, a Kadic student who debuted in the original show's episode "Claustrophobia", however both he and Laura are not related.

=== Antagonists ===

'''XANA'''

:Sometimes spelled '''X.A.N.A.'''. A very powerful and dangerous [[multi-agent system]] or [[artificial intelligence]] that returns from ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' to serve as the main antagonist of the new series. After its supposed destruction in the original series, it was revealed in ''Code Lyoko: Evolution'' that XANA survived by taking refuge in the Cortex, a sector generated by Professor Tyron's supercomputer. XANA activates towers on Lyoko and sends specters in the form of human beings to get close to the heroes and drain them of its source codes, which are a share of its power implanted in them before its previous downfall. XANA is determined to become complete again so it can take full control of the world network. Even though the team's supercomputer gets shut off again, it does not effect the A.I. since stealing the Keys of Lyoko from Aelita in [[List of Code Lyoko episodes#The Key|the animated show]].

Line 107 ⟶ 116:

:Human avatars, similar to the five Lyoko Warriors, that are sent to the Cortex by Professor Tyron when necessary from his laboratory somewhere in [[Switzerland]]. Tyron lacks the technology to virtualize human beings directly into a virtual world, so he equips his staff with special suits that allow them to control Ninja avatars on the Cortex. Each Ninja is identical: faceless and green with white stripes, and armed with dual swords. They're masters of martial arts and stealth, with the ability to melt into the floor and resurface behind an enemy to take them by surprise, they also have the ability to Super Sprint like Ulrich and use telekinesis to freeze enemies like Yumi. They're also able to travel across the Digital Sea without any protection. Their mission is to stop the Lyoko Warriors from interfering with the Cortex, and they make formidable opponents. Their identities are never revealed.

=== Supporting ===

'''Jim Morales''' ''(French: Jim Moralès)''

:Portrayed by: Bastien Thelliez

Line 136 ⟶ 145:

:Primarily known by his alias, '''Franz Hopper''', he is the late father of Aelita and first husband of Anthea Hopper-Tyron. He had died sacrificing himself to assist Jeremy in wiping out XANA once and for all, at least for a time, in the penultimate episode of [[Code Lyoko episodes|the original series]] and only appears in old videos or photographs. His very essence seems to be linked with the Heart of Lyoko itself, as Aelita is known to be speaking to something or someone when wanting to consult him about whether he had anything to do with XANA's sudden return, and later assures him that she will do everything in her power to find his wife. His archives on his work regarding the supercomputer and Lyoko have fallen in the hands of his former colleague via Anthea marrying Professor Lowell.

==Production==

The budget for the series was expected to be €5,600,000.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sudouest.fr/2012/02/29/en-chair-et-en-3d-646142-813.php |title=Angoulême : "Code Lyoko" en chair et en 3D |publisher=SudOuest.fr |date=2012-02-29 |access-date=2012-09-25|last1=Ruiz |first1=Bertrand }}</ref>

Jérôme Mouscadet, who served as director of ''Code Lyoko'', and Sophie Decroisette, head writer for the original show's first 3 seasons, were involved early in ''Evolution'' before leaving due to creative differences. Decroisette specifically wrote the bible for ''Evolution'' and synopses for the first couple episodes with Mouscadet, but ultimately left after "I... saw that production wanted to be on a particular story level that didn't agree with my ideas for the series."<ref>{{cite web|title=Q&A with Sophie Decroisette|url=https://en.codelyoko.fr/interviews/qr_sophie_decroisette.cl|website=CodeLyoko.fr|date=2016}}</ref>
