The film will have Andrew Francis, Britt McKillip and Tabitha St. Germain reprise their roles as Cadance, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart while new characters join the roster with Dwayne Johnson, Esme Bianco, Hannah John-Kamen and Lance Henriksen voicing them.

In April 2019, due to the creator's mentality on 2D animation not being "hot" for theatrical releases (with My Little Pony: The Movie and Teen Titans Go! To The Movies) due to them not having successful runs at the box office (leading to the former not having a sequel and the latter having a crossover with Teen Titans instead of a sixth season of the aforementioned series) as well as the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic concerns, MGM, Hasbro, eOne and Hollowfox negotiated with Netflix in order to release not only this, but also future Humanoidverse feature films to the streaming service with some skipping theatrical releases (like this one), and Netflix seals the deal with the Humanoidverse Project team. Marking it a Netflix original film. UAR will co-distribute it with Netflix and eOne. The new release date will be in June 26, 2020.

However, later this year, Netflix and HFX confirms that only two films from the Humanoidverse will be on Netflix due to theatres reopening and the pandemic slowing down. Leading the rights for future films to go back to MGM and Annapurna.

The Japanese version of the series, curated in co-operation with Aniplex and Kadokawa, will be releasing in Japanese theatres in August of 2020 with a simultaneous worldwide release on Netflix with the Bang Zoom! Cast reprising their roles from the Aniplex dub of the series. As well as including a Japanese theme song.
