## Production

### Development

Following the release of *Bad Blues Life: The Biggest Baddest Movie Ever* in 2005, co-producer Allison Abbate stated that a sequel film was unlikely despite its successful box office performance. In a 2012 interview with IGN, *Bad Blues Life* executive producer Peter Webber was asked about the possibility of a sequel; he said, "We just feel like we've told so many stories, the Blues siblings and exists so well in this short 22-minute form." and stated that making another film was "a huge challenge". In late 2013, Warner Bros. was reportedly approaching the crews of the show to make another film adaptation to help reinvigorate the series' declining ratings. Internal disagreement delayed collaborations. On May 26, 2017, the *Los Angeles Times* reported Warner Bros. had "another *Bad Blues Life* film" in development. *Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi* creator and Warner Bros. Animation president Sam Register officially announced on March 6, 2018, that a sequel film was officially in development and was due for an unspecified 2020 release, saying; "We will be releasing a brand-new *Bad Blues Life* movie at the end of 2020". Production was announced on March 22, 2018, under the title *Bad Blues Life 2*.
