They work while keeping a new group of arch-nemeses, The Rivals Catrine Bruno Silvi Hali Lawrence, from destroying Baby Corp itself.[2][3] In Season 2 of The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib, fired from Baby Corp, Boss Baby and Tina combine their leadership skills to launch their own company.

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