Background and Development
During an interview with MTV News in mid-November 2015, Sean Astin, the voice of PuffPuff at the time, talked about possible sequels: "It might be two films, three films, It could be four. It could be five. Who knows? The story will continue."

On March 21, 2016, it was reported that a sequel is already in the works with Jared Bush writing the screenplay and Eisenhower and Vernon returning to produce. On July 14, one day before the first film's US debut, it was announced that a sequel was officially going ahead based upon The Jumping Ground Movie's strong financial results internationally, with a January 26, 2018 release date. On September 15, an official title for the sequel, Jumping Ground 2, was announced.

Later in December, New Zealand film editor Jabez Olssen was confirmed to be making his directional debut with this film. It was also revealed that Warner Bros. had accquired worldwide film rights to the Jumping Ground series.

Producer Dan Ast told IGN in February 2017 that the sequel would have a significantly darker theme, but would regain a handful of comedic elements to it, therefore "staying true to the purpose of the whole franchise". The film was then renamed Jumping Ground Rising on March 2, 2017, until being given the official title of Jumping Ground Rising: Revengeance at CinemaCon 2017, whilst it was also confirmed that it would be a stand-alone sequel.

In July 3, 2017, it was announced that Chineese company Tencent would invest $150 million in the film.

Casting
On August 2, it was reported that Daniel Brühl was in talks to voice a villain. More cast members were announced on October 21, including Nick Offerman, Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Charlie Day, and Nick Frost. The main series' cast will also reprise their respective roles, whilst Andy Serkis, Bill Hader and Keegan Michael-Key will return for the sequel, playing different roles.

In April 2017, Dane DeHaan was cast as Raiden, a cybernetically-enhanced assassin who appeared in several episodes before playing a vital role in the show's twentieth season, replacing Quinton Flynn, who voiced the character in the series. Charles Dance, Riz Ahmed and Jenny Slate were announced as cast members in July 2017.

Release
