The companion series title "Aidy Kane (Really Wants You to Love Him" is a play on the original working title for the related feature film Aidy Kane (2020). While that title was deemed too long and cumbersome for the feature, the producers felt a slightly shorter version would work well as the name of the teaser series.
The digital series came about after the planned feature film Aidy Kane (2020), which suspended filming due to COVID-19 in March 2020, faced new delays related to the Omicron variant in 2021. To keep interest and momentum up, the producers created a companion "teaser" series to introduce the characters and the world in a different medium, utilizing a mix of existing, but unreleased footage, and material filmed remotely during lock down.
