The film was released 3 years after Runaway's and became a standalone sequel to the 2012 film. It was the first part of the series made without the participation of SpyGlass, the production company created by the team of writers who created the series. Instead, Universal chose to retain all creative control.
Runaway's: Explore received universal criticism from journalists and became the lowest-rated film in the franchise. Due to this, the planned third film was canceled in favor of continuing the original story.
