Huntik: Secrets & Seekers is an Italian animated television series created by Iginio Straffi, the creator of Winx Club. It was produced by Rainbow, a studio co-owned by Straffi and Viacom at the time of the show's conclusion. The series is about four adventurers who are part of a group called the Huntik Foundation. The Huntik team is led by their top operative Dante Vale. Every episode takes place in a different historical city and features magical elements inspired by European mythology. The characters are designed in a style that combines Japanese anime with Western animation.

Iginio Straffi conceived Huntik in 2006. Its visual elements, artwork, and music were produced entirely in Italy, while animation and some scriptwriting were done abroad. The first season premiered on Rai Due in Italy on 12 January 2009, and it set a record number of viewers when it was rerun on Rai Gulp. Production on a second season began shortly after the premiere of the first.

In Italy, the second season debuted in 2011. Also in 2011, Viacom gained 30% ownership of the Rainbow studio, and Huntik's second season premiered on Viacom's Nickelodeon networks internationally. In the United States, season two premiered on Nicktoons on April 21, 2013.
