The Doom Patrol, the team that raised Garfield "Gar" Logan/Beast Boy make an appearance on this series, which was their first ever live action portrayal. Their appearance on this show was actually a backdoor pilot for a Doom Patrol (2019) spin off series that uses many of the same actors and also is an original show for the DC Universe streaming service.
This show was renewed for a second season based on preview showings of the series' first episode. At the time of the Season 2 renewal, they hadn't even finished filming Season 1 yet.
The show is primarily based on the highly successful and popular "The New Teen Titans" comic book by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez.
The first teaser promo included footage of unidentified actors playing Beast Boy and Speedy. Speedy being the 2nd Speedy, Mia Dearden, wearing the same costume that Willa Holland wore as Thea Dearden Queen/Speedy in Arrow (2012).
Prior to being cast as Beast Boy, Ryan Potter campaigned to play Red Robin (Tim Drake) alongside Ben Affleck's Batman in The Batman (2022) when that project was still connected to the DCEU.
