## Production

On October 2022, despite earlier claims that *Epilogue: An Important Coronation* was the series finale of Revisited, *Lion Guard: The Leo Dynasty* and *Lion Guard: Wild Schemes and Catastrophes* were announced, serving as the repurposed conclusions to Phase 6 of *The Lion King: Revisited*. *Prince Kopa* director and writer Beyoncé was later hired to write the screenplay for *Wild Schemes and Catastrophes*.

## Trivia

### General

* The storyline of *Lion Guard: Wild Schemes and Catastrophes* was primally inspired by the 2015-16 comic book storyline of *Secret Wars* published by Marvel Comics.
	+ The ultimate battle of the Pride Landers, the Outlanders, the Lion Guard, the Night Pride, Simba's pride, Shenzi's clan, Timon's colony, and Pumbaa's sounder fighting each other for protecting their territories was based on the final Incursion of Earth-1610 and Earth-616.
	+ Leo, Kopa, and Kimba's characterizations were based on the portrayals of Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, and Reed Richards.

* A majority of characters introduced in *Six New Adventures* and *The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa* are given a send-off.

### In development

* Christian Slater, Meghan Strange, Justin Hires and C. C. H. Pounder were set to return as Ushari, Shupavu, Hodari, and Kongwe, but their scenes were reportedly cut.
	+ Slater was recast as Joka following the mixed reception of Ushari's return in *Epilogue: An Important Coronation*, respectively.
