PRODUCTION
On October 29, 2020, Netflix announced that My Dad the Bounty Hunter had begun development. At the time of the announcement, Polygon called it a “family-friendly take on The Mandalorian and said the show is “backed by a ton of Black talent”.
The series was given an order for a 10-episode first season. The series came together after Downing Jr. and Harpin met at Sony Pictures Animation Studio, with Downing Jr. telling him that he wanted to do a story “with a Black family at the center as a love letter to my family”, and they connected on “how real” 1980s sci-fi films were. The series was animated by the French animation studio, Dwarf Animation, Shakira Pressley was a writer for the series, as was Downing Jr. and Harpin. According to Rolling Stone, the series had a majority-Black writers room, which included writer Tomi Adeyemi, and is “a completely original story” rather than a IP. Juston Gordon-Montgomery was the story editor for the series, along with Alex Konstad as art director, and Andrew Chesworth as character design supervisor.
Before the show’s premiere, Harpin told Animation Magazine that the show was crafted with the daughter of Downing Jr. behind, but was visually and narratively interesting to young fans, with an aesthetic reminiscent of Alien and The Last Starfighter which he and Downing Jr. liked. In the same interview, Downing Jr. stated that the show’s production designer Yuki Demers was instrumental in the show’s design, and that he was shown photographs of Black men and women to make sure the character designs were accurate. Harpin and Downing Jr. further argued that show’s “cinematic approach to storytelling” was important, and that they encouraged “intentionally cinematic style” so that the storyboarders and animators could be more creative. Both also noted they discovered “unique opportunities” for the show’s team during “quarantine and beyond”, and praised interconnectivity of those working on the show.
In another interview with TV Insider, Harpin said they wanted to 2-D but it made more financial sense to do the series 3-D because they “wouldn’t have to build all those sets”, but kept flashbacks in 2-D. Downing Jr. noted the importance of casting and that they wanted Priah to voice a character, while Harpin noted the challenges of recording lines because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Harpin and Downing Jr. also emphasized the importance of their show not talking down to kids, but in remaining honest and true, giving characters flaws. When asked about season 2, Downing Jr. said that they would like to “focus on mom” and give her “a shot in the captain’s seat.”
A trailer for the series was released on November 16, 2022. A second trailer was posted on January 12, 2023. The first season premiered on Netflix on February 9, 2023.
In an interview with the LA Times after the season one premiere, Downing Jr. and Patrick Harpin said that the show’s inspiration “is personal”, noted the family dynamics in the series and sci-fi influences including The Fifth Element, Star Wars, Outland, and “wild ’80s stuff for kids”. They also noted that the Conglomerate in the show is like the “space colonialism” written about by Frank Herbert. Harpin also told Rolling Stone that films like The Brother from Another Planet, The Incredibles, and Attack the Block were an influence on the series while both show creators said that The Goonies and E.T. were further inspirations. The voice actors Ferguson, Swainn, Orji, and Alonso also supported a possible live-action adaptation of the series.
In March 2023, Kai Akari, a director for the series, told Animation Magazine that many of on the show’s crew are “now treasured friends” and was grateful to have relationships with those Akari worked with previously “on other projects”.
The second season premiered on August 17, 2023.
