What an honor it was to collaborate with Stan Lee on the creation of the series, and I am absolutely thrilled that our new series has resonated so strongly with audiences right out of the gate". Discussing his work on the series, lead actor Arnold Schwarzenegger said, " Superhero Kindergarten is near and dear to my heart, the greatest superhero to ever live. The series was the last project Lee personally worked on. As with other adaptations of his works, Lee made several cameo appearances in the series. In July 2020, Genius Brands and Archie Comics published the late Stan Lee's comic book Superhero Kindergarten, in a multi-year partnership agreement. The season was to consist of 52 episodes. On June 20, 2020, John Landis signed on to direct and executive produce all of the episodes. On June 15, 2020, Amazon Prime Video acquired the series.

He served as a co-executive producer with Paul Wachter, CEO of Main Street Advisors and Fabian Nicieza, who was also the developer of the series. In May 2019, production began on the series, after Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast in the lead role as Arnold Armstrong / Captain Fantastic.

Superhero Kindergarten premiered on April 23, 2021, on Genius Brands' streaming service Kartoon Channel. The series is created by Stan Lee, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Andy Heyward and co-produced by Genius Brands, POW! Entertainment, Oak Productions and Telegael Teoranta. Superhero Kindergarten (also known as Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten), is a superhero streaming television series starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Desiree Burch.
