Hailey Banks is a resourceful teenager who dislikes taking risks, but this changes when a crazed professor from the future tells her that she has to complete all the items in her to-do list journal in order to save the world. She is aided by her best friend and secret crush, Scott Denoga; and a talking phone named Beta. Hailey's newest list item is to ride all of the rides at the county fair, including the Zero Gravitron, the scariest ride at the fair. During the ride, a group of Chaos Bots, who are trying to stop Hailey from completing her list, cause the Zero Gravitron to malfunction, but Hailey is able to stop the ride and save the day. Afterwards, Kristine Sanchez, the most popular girl at Hailey's school, starts dating Scott, much to her chagrin, as one of the items on her list is to kiss Scott.

After the Professor leaves, Scott reveals that not only has Kristine gotten onto Hat House, but she has also broken up with him, making the kiss item on Hailey's list more likely to be completed.

Hailey's plan to ask Scott out to a school dance and confess her feelings for him is spoiled when a compatibility app called "SnackMatch" claims that they are incompatible with each other. Instead, according to the app, Scott is compatible with Destiny. However, during the dance, they don't go well together. After Kristine tells Scott he has been doing the survey incorrectly, Scott redoes the survey on the SnackMatch app, and he finds himself compatible with Hailey. Excited, he seeks to ask her out. However, Hailey has already asked out Sanjay Singh, the boyfriend she told him about previously. Beta reminds Hailey about her duties with the list, but she refuses to let the list, or Beta, be in control of her life. Hailey then quits her list and tears up her confession letter and throws it into the garbage. In a cliffhanger ending, a glimpse of the catastrophic future flashes in front of Scott as Beta finally tells him about the one list item that Hailey has been hiding from him this whole time, leaving him completely and utterly shocked.

The earliest concept for Hailey's On It! was conceived when Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton came up with a scenario of a girl failing to pay attention to a time-traveling messenger.[42] The duo grew interested in the characters and slowly began to develop what would eventually grow into the series.[43] The series was initially pitched under the title I Will NOT Kiss Scott Federman.[44]
On November 18, 2021, Disney Branded Television announced that Hailey's On It! had been greenlit for a 20-episode first season.[1] Meredith Roberts, a Disney Television Animation executive described the series as the first animated series by Bunje and Stanton, and called it a "fast-paced comedy" with "grounded stories" and "heart" which made it a "perfect fit" for Disney.[8] The series was described as aimed at kids aged 6–14 and their families.[45] On June 15, 2022, Disney Branded Television revealed that Hailey's On It! would be receiving 10 additional episodes, bringing the total from 20 episodes to a 30 episode count for the first season.[46]
It was also announced that Howy Parkins would be a co-executive producer, alongside Bunje and Stanton, and supervising director. Reporting also confirmed Wade Wisinski as the show's producer, Karen Graci as the show's story editor, and Lee Ann Dufour as the series art director.[1][47][48] In December 2022, the Daily Sundial reported that artist Jaison Wilson, who has worked on The Princess and the Frog, Milo Murphy's Law, Candace Against the Universe, and Amphibia, would be working on the series.[49] On April 28, the show's first trailer was released, and a press release noted that the show's guest cast includes Brian Jordan Alvarez, Blake Anderson, Mick Foley, Jo Koy, Jack McBrayer, Bebe Neuwirth, Chris Parnell, Tim Robinson, Natasha Rothwell, Brandon Mychal Smith, Martin Starr, and Al Yankovic.[6] The same day, it was announced that Cat Harman-Mitchell and Leslie Park would be series directors.[48][6]
Writers for the series include Mary Gulino and Kevin Yee.[50][51] Karen Graci serves as story editor.[52][48] Bunje and Stanton said the use of animation gave them greater creative freedom than their live-action works.[43] Due to the constant changes made to the show's story during development, the writers purposefully avoided having the content on Hailey's list to be fully defined, instead wanting the content to be conceived as they developed the story for each episode in order to allow greater creative freedom and flexibility.[43]
The character of Beta was created because the writers wanted a way to "organize and prioritize list items" without always relying on the list itself, with the idea of a technologically advanced smartphone being conceived due to the dynamic such character could have with Hailey.[43] Beta was originally meant to be a minor character, but his role was expanded after the writers enjoyed Gary Anthony Williams' performance and further developed him.[53]
