Production
On January 17, 2020, DreamWorks announced a new Trolls TV series, titled Trolls: TrollsTopia, to be distributed exclusively on Hulu and Peacock. The series was originally scheduled to be released on April 15, 2020.[5] The announcement came alongside those for DreamWorks films The Croods: A New Age and The Boss Baby: Family Business, other DreamWorks and Universal-related properties such as Cleopatra in Space, Where's Waldo?, The Mighty Ones and Madagascar: A Little Wild, and new episodes of Curious George.
Due to the effects of COVID-19 on Peacock's original release schedule, many of the planned originals, including this series, have been delayed. Hulu had not announced any delays and would release the series on schedule.[6] The release date for the series on Hulu was confirmed to be November 19, 2020.[7] The first trailer was released on November 5, 2020.[8]
The first screenshot was seen in the TV Kids magazine's October 2020 issue.[9] Universal had signed a long-term agreement with Sky, with Trolls: TrollsTopia being confirmed to be among the shows included in the contract, which would see customers in Ireland and the United Kingdom getting to see the shows on the aforementioned platform.[10]
In that same month, an storyboard of an episode titled "Dinner with Dante" was leaked onto Tumblr, but was removed shortly afterwards. It revolved around a Classical Troll named Dante Crescendo. At the same time, the series' animatic opening credits sequence was leaked.[11] Jim Mortensen confirmed that the leaks were stolen.[12]
Notable returning staff from Trolls: The Beat Goes On! include Matthew Beans (executive producer),[13] Alex Geringas (composer and songwriter).[14] Animator and director Jim Mortensen had also returned for the series, but as of February 2020,[15] he left production of the show.[16]
