It is based on a short-lived web comic Kipo by Rad Sechrist.
Originally DreamWorks Animation wanted to make this into a feature film at first, but decided it is better to make it a TV show due to the possibility of interesting world building.
Keen-eyed viewers can spot on ramps, off ramps, and signs for the 101 and 10 freeways, both of which are in California. There are also signs for the city of Pasadena, pointing to Las Vistas being a fictionalized version of Los Angeles.
The series takes place in 2220.
All 3 seasons of the show were completed before the first season came out. Production on it began in around 2016 and ended in mid to late 2019.
