Nickelodeon stated that they had "big plans for the [show]", giving the series an additional twenty-six episodes before its official premiere. Episodes were made at DreamWorks Animation using the same computer-generated process as the original film, as well as applying 2D-animated sequences in the same style as seen in both of the films. An intern at Nickelodeon Animation Studios visited the show's recording studio and later blogged that it seemed like the episodes were not written solely for comedic value, but instead had a story-based plot similar to the films.
Some of the show's progress was previewed at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, featuring fully voiced-over scenes from animated storyboards and finished animation (2D "dream sequence" animation and 3D CGI animation). In addition, the preview displayed the show's completed main title sequence, including the show's new theme song.
The show also took part in Nickelodeon's revamp to their cartoon season on television. As an early promotion, Po was featured in a Nickelodeon bumper with all the characters of the shows set to premiere (or were renewed) in 2011.
On July 23, an exclusive sneak peek of the series was shown at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con. The show's producers and a few select voice cast members were present at the panel, including Mick Wingert (voice of Po), James Hong (voice of Mr. Ping), and John DiMaggio (voice of Fung). During the event, Nickelodeon previewed one of the show's new episodes, as well as some uncompleted footage.
Opening theme
The show's main title theme was written and composed by show writer and executive producer Peter Hastings, and is performed by Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn from the Track Team. It is sung by Po's voice actor Mick Wingert.

Critical
The series has received fairly positive to mixed reviews. Mary McNamara of Los Angeles Times called it "a show that won't drive every adult in earshot absolutely crazy. And these days, that's saying something." Kevin McFarland of The AV Club said that the series "rips out the elements that made the original film such a surprise, leaving behind a derivative, cliché-laden children's show that recycles moral platitudes adequately but is otherwise indistinguishable from countless other programs", "isn't a show that's aiming to be cutting edge or original, just mildly entertaining, which it is.", and "this isn't going to harm any kids, but it's not going to impress them either." Then finished with giving the show with a C score. Entertainment Weekly editor Abby West commented on the EW.com website that "The themes of family and acceptance are strong, but the show adds in a whole host of silly characters not in the movies, with voices your child will love to imitate."
A three-volume collection of DVD compilations was released by Fox Home Entertainment, with each volume featuring seven episodes from the show and a code to various game apps by Nickelodeon that unlocked power-ups and exclusive downloads. The collection was originally supposed to contain eight volumes, but only three were ever released.
The first volume, titled Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness - Good Croc, Bad Croc, was released on June 18, 2013; the second, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness - The Scorpion Sting, was released on October 15, 2013; and the third, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness - The Midnight Stranger, was released on March 11, 2014.
•The series was Nickelodeon's second DreamWorks deal, with the first being The Penguins of Madagascar.
•Like The Penguins of Madagascar, the series was given a second season before premiering.
•The series was Nickelodeon's first animated series since Avatar: The Last Airbender to normally use half-hour long episodes.
•The series was originally scheduled to air in 2010, but it was later pushed back to 2011.
•While James Hong, Lucy Liu, and Randall Duk Kim reprised their roles from the films for the series, some of the show's other voice actors reprised their roles from the video games.
