Production
Due to the success of the web-series of the same name, a televised iteration of the series was announced in May 2017. Faust, who had developed the cult favorite Super Best Friends Forever shorts, serves as executive producer. Grey Griffin, Tara Strong, and Nicole Sullivan each reprise their roles from Super Best Friends Forever. A year later, a poster showing the first look of the main characters was released. The series is animated by the Canadian studio Jam Filled Entertainment and an Irish animation studio Boulder Media.
Several of the writers for this series had previously worked on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, another show developed by Faust. Also, her series is the second collaboration of Tara Strong and John de Lancie, who respectively voiced Twilight Sparkle and Discord on Friendship Is Magic.
