Development
In 2004, The Palmer Sisters decided to make a spin-off focusing only on the older-aged Villas, Jasmine, Anthony, and Jaiden. The Palmer Sisters asked Decode Entertainment to lead in the animation and Neil Court took head lead of animation. Court drafted a team of animators from other studios such as Studio B, Cookie Jar, Klasky Csupo, and even Nickelodeon Animation Studios. This made the in-house animation studio, Bonfire Productions, a subsidiary of Decode Entertainment. Cookie Jar and Nickelodeon Animation eventually helped Decode and it's in-house animation studio to produce and animate the spin-off. The pilot of the spin-off was pitched to Nickelodeon and was aired under Noggin's The N block, TEENick, in Early-2005, and eventually The N channel. For unknown reasons, it was shortly aired on Kids' WB! until August of 2007 when the show vanished of Kids' WB! for good. It is unknown how Kids' WB! had rights to broadcast the show or unknown what went on broadcasting-wise. The series was cancelled in 2009, around the time when the main series was cancelled as well.

The N was about to shutdown for good as well due to the 2009 Nick Rebrand. With nowhere else to go, the series was eventually cancelled. However, In 2012, The series' fifth season was uploaded on to YouTube under the name CSCN Official YouTube which most likely pointed hints to Call Sound, Call Noise uploading the fifth series. In 2019, the uploads were set to private. However a few weeks later, an Internet Archive user named Canadian&AmericanCartoonsFan1999 had uploaded the  ENTIRE  series on said platform including the unseen on TV season, Season 5. In 2021, A sixth season was surfaced and uploaded by said user making it the second season not to be aired on television. Said user has found 2 specials, left unaired on television which according to the copyright was produced in 2008 and 2009, thus having it take place between Seasons 4 and 5 and Seasons 5 and 6.
