Production
Following the box-office success of Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy 2014 live-action film, Marvel Animation confirmed that a Guardians animated series has entered production with Paul Dini, Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle serving as head writers.

In an interview with Christopher Yost, the head writer talked about the style of animation and the series' tone, saying: "What we're trying to do with this [Guardians of the Galaxy] show is stick to the wonderfully crafted animation featured in 'Ultimate Spider-Man' but diverse quite a bit from that show's tone and replace the fourth wall humour with a compelling animated story arc for all ages to enjoy". It has also been confirmed that a total of twenty-six episodes have been ordered.
