James Turner, a British illustrator most well known for his work on the Pokémon series of games (having created several Pokémon designs and worked as the art director for Pokémon Sword and Shield), provided artwork during the initial stages of the project.[9]

On February 19, 2018, Lego Kids Adventures was greenlit by Disney Channel.

On March 25, 2019, it was revealed that Ariel Winter would return to Disney as the voice of June Sparks.

On May 15, 2019, Disney Channel renewed LEGO Kids Adventures for a second season ahead of its premiere. Among the announced guest stars include George Takei, Flula Borg, Marlow Barkley, Mia & Ella Allan.[2][11]

The writing team for the series are three women, something Lord and Miller felt necessary due to the show centering on a young girl.[8]Storyboard artists are allowed to pitch their own ideas for an episode, a practice Lord and Miller took from his time at The LEGO Movie.

Music
