You know, our approach on the show has always been to write things that we enjoy. They’re like, ‘We're kind of past cute, so where does that leave us? What's our slice of the pie here?’ That was a really fun group of characters for us to write because it's always fun when you have a villain where, if you scratch your head a bit, you're like, ‘Wait a minute, they kind of have a point.’ VD: What are some of these new stories and adventures we’re exploring in Back in the Crib that we didn’t touch on in the previous show or movies?īS: Well, one is we have these new villains, The Uncuddleables, who are teens with a really legitimate problem with Baby Corp because babies are cute, and babies are loved and, meanwhile, these teenagers are in the most awkward phase of their lives. Everybody's got something interesting to share that's happened in their lives. So, when you're talking about families, everybody's got a story. Everybody grew up in some form of family, no matter what that dynamic looked like. But more of it is drawn from experience in life than from just trolling. Only two of us on the writing staff actually have kids of our own. VD: Because we live in a world of memes and Tik Tok videos where we're constantly seeing hilarious baby content, how much of the writing is coming from the outside world, so to speak, and how much of it is referenced from your own families?īS: There's always a bit of a balance. We have high concept stories and really small-scale stories that become big and absurd and fun. We've gotten to play in both worlds, exploring what’s going on in the corporate baby world and a baby needing mommy to take them to the park and there's conflict with another park mommy.

There are all these family dynamics and, sure, there’s some uniqueness to the dynamic when there's a talking baby involved - or many in the case of the new show - but it never felt like we were going to run out of ideas on the series because there's this deep well of family relationships. But the thing that I love about working on this show is that, for all the specificity of this concept with the Baby Corp fighting for baby love, at the core, it’s a family sitcom. But where do you draw from to get new baby content for a whole other show, where each episode is a new adventure?īS: Anytime you introduce new characters, there are new stories to tell. VD: Back in Business had roughly a four-year run and you do have, like you said, new family dynamics with Tim’s daughters. That led to us figuring out, ‘Okay, what would a new series look like?’ Seeing what they were doing with it, where decades have passed and the family dynamics have changed, there are all these new characters, I just loved it and I wanted to do more with these people. Then I was invited by Tom to watch a rough cut of the movie. I felt very satisfied with the show that we made. And I honestly thought that I was done with it. There was a final episode with closure and, hopefully, it was emotional. If you watched the original show, you know that we ended things.

What made you guys decide that, after two movies and a series, you wanted to add another show to the mix?īrandon Sawyer: Honestly, it was seeing a rough cut of what Tom McGrath and Michael McCullers were doing with The Boss Baby movie sequel.
Victoria Davis: We’ve got The Boss Baby, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, The Boss Baby 2: Family Business, and now we've got The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib. The series is executive produced by Brandon Sawyer with supervising producer Matt Engstrom, both veterans of The Boss Baby: Back in Business.ĪWN talked with Sawyer about what made him decide to kickstart a new series, even after deciding just last year that he was “done with it,” and the special new “villains” that challenged the team to write episodes that weren’t just comedic, but also posed dilemmas to which there were no clear answers.
Working with his niece, Ted and Tina co-lead a new Field Team fighting to increase Baby Love while keeping a new group of teenage arch-nemeses - The Uncuddleables - from destroying Baby Corp itself. In Back in the Crib, Ted uses the same serum to go into hiding as a baby after being framed for fraud at his adult company. The show takes place following the events of The Boss Baby: Family Business where Ted and Tim - now father to Tina and Tabitha - found themselves turned back to their baby and childhood selves by way of a special bottle serum so they could uncover dark secrets behind Tabitha's school and its mysterious founder, Dr. And now the baby love is spreading even further with the studio’s new series, The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib, premiering on Netflix Thursday, May 19. With two features, two shorts, and a four-season series running over the last five years, DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby has become a burgeoning franchise that would even make Ted Templeton proud.
