Production

Development

According to co-creator/executive producer Nick Jennings, Ms. Bellum was written out of this particular series due to her not being the kind of message they wanted to give at the time.[1]

Filming

It was copyrighted in 2016.

Music

The theme song, "Who's Got the Power?," and the music were composed by Mike Reagan. The opening theme song was written by an uncredited Reagan and Bob Boyle, and the end credits song was written by Tristan Sedillo and Hannah Watanabe-Rocco, with both songs being performed by Tacocat.

Behind the scenes
