Prior to the series, Chilian served as a designer on Rick and Morty as well as a writer and storyboard artist on Uncle Grandpa.[3] The series is produced by Cartoon Network Studios. It was originally set to premiere on Cartoon Network, but was moved to the then-upcoming streaming service, HBO Max. The first season premiered on July 23, 2020, on the streaming service.

The series was renewed for a second season which premiered on March 11, 2021.[4] The series made its linear premiere on Cartoon Network on August 6, 2021, with some episodes aired out of order.[5] The third season was released on September 16, 2021, only six months after the show's second season premiered.[6] The fourth season was released on May 26, 2022.[7]
