Development[]
After the major success of the first season of the television series, 78M Studios had considered a film adaptation of The 78M Show. The show's creator, Jeremy Carpenter, felt a feature-length film would allow them to increase the show's scale and animate sequences that could top up TV scales. However, Jeremy were initially worried that creating a film would have a negative effect on the series, as they did not have enough crew to focus their attention on both the film and the TV series. As the series progressed, additional writers so that both the show and the film could be produced at the same time.
The 78M Movie was announced in 2015 headed by Jeremy Carpenter and Scott Young. The film was set for a November 17, 2017 release.
