Production

Inspiration for the series happened when creator Brandon Sawyer watched a rough cut of The Boss Baby: Family Business by Tom McGrath and Michael McCullers.^[5] The series was worked on during the production of the sequel.^[6]

Animation for the series was provided by Technicolor Animation Productions.

On September 27, 2023, executive producer Sawyer replied on Twitter to a question about whether the second season was truly its last, saying that season 2 was "the end of Back in the Crib", signifying that the series was over after two seasons.^[7]

Release

The series premiered on Netflix on May 19, 2022.^[8]^[9] A second season was released on April 13, 2023.^[10]

Reception

Common Sense Media gave Back in the Crib 2 out of 5 stars for having "too much dark sarcasm" and "consumerism in an unpleasant series".^[11]
