Production

Rusty Rivets began development in late 2014.[13] The concept was originally pitched to Guru Studio, which ultimately chose not to develop the show. The first season was produced in accordance with Spin Master's policy to work on 1-2 television programs a year.[14] It is Spin Master's sixth animated television venture.[15]

Most of the first season's episodes were animated by Arc Productions in Toronto, Ontario. The studio closed on August 2, 2016, but its assets have been sold to the Ottawa-based company Jam Filled Entertainment, and the business reopened on August 22, 2016 as Jam Filled Toronto.[16]

Release

The series was announced at Nickelodeon's upfront presentation in New York City on March 2, 2016.[17] It was originally slated to premiere in the United States on August 22, 2016,[18][19] but it did not. The first season will air on Treehouse TV in Canada throughout fall 2016.[20][21] Spin Master will distribute the series and its product line globally.[22]

On June 11, 2016, the first episode was released to Amazon Video as a free preview.[23] The same episode was released to Nickelodeon's mobile platforms on June 20, 2016.[24][25]

Merchandise

Spin Master has announced that it will distribute a line of toys based on the program. The company plans to release them in fall 2017.[26]
