In 2014, during the production of the third season ("Slugterra: Eastern Caverns"), Nerd Corps Entertainment was acquired by DHX Media (now WildBrain). This acquisition did not disrupt the production timeline significantly, as the creative team remained largely intact.
The series originally ran for and concluded its primary broadcast run on August 6, 2016 , totaling 63 episodes. During its peak, it also expanded into several feature-length specials, such as Slugterra: Ghoul from Beyond and Slugterra: Return of the Elementals , both released in 2014.
