The series is produced by Entertainment One, in collaboration with Boulder Media.[4][non-primary source needed] It has some of the writers and most of the voice cast returning from Friendship Is Magic, but it also features a new art style and a slice-of-life narrative.

A second season for the series premiered on April 10, 2021.[6]
