Cancellation
The Jacobs was cancelled because the creator had moved on to make another cartoon, The Pamper Buddies. E.G. Daily and Tara Strong were cast for the new cartoon so that knocked out their roles if another season was made. Jess Harnell, Janice Kawaye, Josh Server and Grey DeLisle were cast for another cartoon as well, making their roles removed. And finally, Christian Jacobs went on to work on The Aquabats Super Show!, removing his role. This left Rob Tinkler. With all the actors and creators moving on to separate projects, it left Simerlink no choice but to can the show and thus was confirmed on Tara Strong on Twitter. However, an anime was made in 2013, and the original cast was requested to do an english dub of the anime. Kawaye, DeLisle, Server, Daily, and Strong were all interested in taking part in the English dub of the anime. Tinkler, Harnell, and Jacobs however were not. Tinkler, Harnell, and Jacobs were replaced by Patton Oswalt, Rob Paulsen, and Mr. Warburton. The anime was produced by Toei Animation alongside Chinese animation company, Agogo Entertainment and was syndicated onto multiple networks until 2019 when it was pulled off the air.

Release
The Jacobs has been added onto Amazon Prime Video and it's anime adaptation was also added on Amazon Prime Video as well as Funimation, Hulu, and VRV.
