Development
A sequel for Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was in development for a summer 2004 release back in February 2002. Former producer, Albie Hecht, reported to The Los Angeles Times that it "would be made on the same budget as the first, but with a new batch of inventions and adventures in Jimmy's town of Retroville." In June 2002, Kate Boutilier had signed on to write the sequel under the title Jimmy Neutron 2: The Search for Carl, but the sequel was never materialized; its plot was instead used for the Game Boy Advance version of the video game Jimmy Neutron vs. Jimmy Negatron. Also furthering its cancellation was that the writers could not agree on a story and Keith Alcorn later stating in an interview that "once [The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius] came out, there wasn't a lot of incentive to make a movie when fans could simply watch Jimmy Neutron for free at home."

On July 24, 2025, production on the sequel was rekindled with John A. Davis returning as director and writer. During writing on the sequel, it would serve as a continuation to the series. The premise itself was set 20 years in the future, where 3 alien siblings invade Retroville. Following Davis' production company DNA Productions having closed down in 2006, animation on the sequel was provided by Bardel Entertainment.

Casting
The original cast of the franchise signed on to reprise their roles, with the sole exceptions of Debi Derryberry and Crystal Scales, with Max Mittelman and Kimberly Brooks replacing the latter two. Darby Camp was cast as Jenny, Jimmy and Cindy's daughter. Chris Pratt, Sarah Silverman, and Channing Tatum were cast as three alien siblings, Stan, Sandra and Steven.

Music
Tyler Bates was confirmed to be the composer for the film, replacing John Debney from the first film.

The Jimmy Neutron theme song that was written and performed by Brian Causey was used in the film's end credits rather than Bowling for Soup's cover from the first film as Causey's version was more familiar with audiences thanks to the television series. Paramount Music released the score and the theme song on the film's soundtrack album.

Jimmy Neutron 2.0 premiered on June 24, 2027, in Los Angeles. The film was later released on July 4, in the United States.
