Development began after Marvel Studios president Louis D'Esposito showed Fishburne the comic book Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. His interest piqued, Fishburne sought to make an animated series based on the duo. Production proceeded for two years before Steve Loter was hired as an executive producer.
The series received highly positive reviews for its writing, animation, soundtrack, representation and characters. The series also won five Children's and Family Emmy Awards.
The first season of Marvel's Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur was broadcast on Disney Channel from February 10, 2023 to May 6, 2023 consisting of 16 episodes. The second season which is currently on air followed a year later on February 2, 2024 with 24 episodes said to be in development.
According to recent reports, Disney Channel will be ending the show with its current season as a season 3 will not be greenlit. Of course, writers had expressed the idea of a potential third season with a script that was said to be developed all of which will likely not fruition as the remaining episodes will likely be available within the first half of 2025.
Marvel's Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur is not the only animated show by the network to have been cancelled but also Hailey's On It and The Ghost And Molly McGee. It is alleged that Disney has been using a different ratings system (i.e. Disney+) to monitor the performance of these shows and another is them prioritising IPs.
