Development
In 2002, Adrian Summers, while working on Jeremy Monroe came up with an idea of an adult animated TV series about 7 LGBTQ teens who try to survive the homophobic world around them. Summers then produced a pilot of the series called "The Gay Wars" to Fox in 2003, and the executives liked the idea. Summers began playing a less stronger role the production crew of Jeremy Monroe in 2004 to begin production on the series. The first episode of the series was completed on April 11, 2005 and was shown to a small test screening group which included around 300 people and were asked to complete a questionnaire or provide feedback in some form. Most of the responses were to change the title of the show to make it not sound too homophobic, to give Toby dysphonia (meaning to not give Toby a voice and communicate in a different way), make Alex less feminine and more gender-neutral, make Jessica asexual instead of lesbian, strengthen the relationship between Alex, Max, and Ryan, and finally to make Jazzy straight. This feedback was imported into the new test pilot which was screened once again to the test group on July 10, 2005 with the pilot, first episode (unrevised), and the first episode (revised) and were asked to provide feedback once again inside the questionaire. No suggestions were made and so Summers presented the pilot and first episode (revised and unrevised) to Fox and so the first episode was allowed to be broadcasted on air. However, Summers did not want this series to premiere its grand debut without one episode, so Summers produced four more episodes over the span of the remainder of 2005 and early 2006. He used the same tactics again and thus making the first five episodes of Lovers University to make its grand debut on Fox Animation Domination on May 1st, 2006 and on May 3rd, 2006 on Adult Swim for audiences worldwide to see. The show recieved high ratings during it's premiere as well as positive reviews from critics worldwide. Summers was overjoyed by the process and hard work that he did to get the series to where he wanted that he continued making more and more episodes using the same tactics and it got the series where it is today as one of the top 5 best Adult Swim animated series.

Animation
The series was produced by computer animation, providing a similar look to the originals while requiring a fraction of the time to produce. Before computer artists begin animating an episode, a series of animatics drawn in Toon Boom are provided by the show's storyboard artists.
