In June 2012, when asked about a sequel to Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, Black stated that the band had "found a loophole with the Internet and animated shorts. That's the world we're looking to dive into, and not just for money, mainly for art."[1] The band mentioned later on in that year that they were considering making an Internet series "exclusive to YouTube".[2] The project was a fantasy for Black and Gass for a few years, until Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign inspired them to write a pilot episode set in the post-apocalypse. The remaining episodes would be completed between 2017 and 2018.[3]

The band filmed a teaser for their Facebook page of them in the studio in May 2016.[8] In December 2017, whilst on Kerrang Radio promoting Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Black stated that the title of a new animated series would be called Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto.[9]
In May 2018, the band entered and left the stage of Hell & Heaven Metal Fest in Mexico City to recordings of "Post-Apocalypto Theme" and "Post-Apocalypto Theme (Reprise)" - this being the world reveal of these tracks.[10] A few days later, the band uploaded a tour trailer to their website and social media, also teasing a new album.[11]
