Development
The series was originally supposed to be a series of 12 short films co-released under Paramount Global's film division Paramount Pictures; it was later reworked as a series of six television episodes after creator Xavier Shaquille had scrapped three sequels from Millvale 's film series and proposed straight-to-video film focused on Sir Cedryc and integrated the sequels' plots into the series.

The series was broadcast in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, making this the second computer-animated series in that format after Star Wars: The Clone Wars as well as the first Nicktoon to be produced in that format.

In addition to creating the series and serving as executive producer, Shaquille would return as Xavier the Red. His fellow cast members, Yuri Lowenthal; Sean Ryan Fox; Will Arnett; Elissa Knight; J. K. Simmons; and Cristina Pucelli, also returned. Jennifer Hale replaces Ellen DeGeneres as Lady Glaidreal due to scheduling conflicts. Kat Dennings was brought on to voice the Olings' royal guard Holga Omarth, a character who had a brief appearance in Millvale.

David Tennant, Simon Helberg, Elizabeth Debicki, Richard E. Grant, John Rhys-Davies, Emily VanCamp, William Salyers, Nicole Sullivan, Paul Bettany, Simon Pegg, Cobie Smulders, Robin Atkin Downes, and Margot Rubin were chosen for the series' characters. Shaquille had the list of actors and actresses (excluding Tennant, Helberg, Grant, VanCamp, Salyers, Smulders, Downes, and Rubin) for the first three sequels and spin-off film before reworking the series and scrapping said sequels.
