The showrunner for this project will be Fletcher Moules, who previously worked on animated trailers for Clash of Clans. The screenplay will be penned by Ron Weiner, known for his contributions to Futurama, Silicon Valley, and other productions. Production has been entrusted to the Canadian firm, ICON Creative Studio.

As a reminder, Clash of Clans is a widely popular mobile strategy game developed by the Finnish studio Supercell, which launched in 2012. Players are tasked with building their settlement and raiding the villages of other gamers. At its peak, this title became the highest-grossing app on the App Store and Google Play and topped download charts. Since its release, Clash of Clans has generated over $5.8 billion in revenue.
