Screechers Wild was initially announced as an unnamed coproduction between the Alpha Group, Man of Action and Wexworks Media in June 2017. In December 2017 it was finally announced that the new series would be named Screechers Wild! and will be based on Opti-Morphs, but featuring entirely new content. However in June 2018 trailers showed up on YouTube which were featuring content of Opti-Morphs, while using the Screechers Wild brand name. It was stated that the new series would start on Screechers Wild's YouTube channel on June 15, 2018.
The series is based on Alpha Group's toyline Opti-Morphs (Ji Jia Shou Shen Zhi Baolie Feiche, "Machine Beast Gods: Bursting Speed"), a spin-off of The Mechnimals (Ji Jia Shou Shen, "Machine Beast Gods"), released in 2010.
On February 12, 2018, Canadian toy company Spin Master filed a lawsuit against Alpha Group, claiming it violated the patents related to its transforming toy IP Bakugan.
On January 14, 2019, the two companies settled the dispute, with Alpha agreeing not to sell more Screechers Wild products after January 31, 2019.
