The animated series title was announced during Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2023 on June 13th, 2023.
Deapite this being based on the live action remake of The Little Mermaid, none of the actors from the film would reprise their roles in the series since Ariel is de-aged and characters like Flounder and Sebastian are reverted to their cartoon counterparts. Samuel E. Wright however would not reprise his role as Sebastian due to his passing in 2021. Here he is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.
