Production
A direct-to-video film featuring the hedgehogs had been in the works since late 2016, when Ferdinand was still in production, with a release date initially planned for 2018.

NicThic Productions announced in January 2017 that the hedgehogs would be given their own television film to be directed by D.A. Nichols and Abbey Thickson, produced by Lori Forte, Bruce Anderson, and Lisa Marie Stelter, and a teleplay written by Brad Copeland, James Krieg, Douglas Langdale, Erica Rivinoja, and Michael J. Wilson.

By early March 2017, it was announced that the film will be televised by Fox, with a premiere date set for early 2018.

On August 7, 2017, Gina Rodriguez, Daveed Diggs, and Gabriel Iglesias were confirmed to be reprising their roles in the film. The next day, Scott Grimes, who is known for voicing Steve Smith on American Dad!, joined the cast to voice Tres.

On November 21, 2017, it was announced that the film's premiere date was confirmed to be February 2, 2018.
