Like the low-budget short film, the series uses supernatural elements, profanity, graphic violence, and non-sequitur lines.

[2] On April 4, 2011, Space announced that they had renewed Todd and the Book of Pure Evil for a second season, with principal photography being set for spring 2011.

[5] In April 2012, it was announced that there would not be a third season,[6] but following an Indiegogo campaign as well as additional funding being secured, an animated feature film was released to conclude the series on November 3, 2017.

They encounter a cursed magical tome with a mind of its own called the Book of Pure Evil, which grants the wishes of those who hold it in dark and sinister ways they didn't intend.

Each episode revolves around a student at Crowley High using the Book to try to make their life better, though this usually results in chaos, mayhem, and bloodshed at the school.

[17][18] Special features include the original short film, cast Q&A, a blooper reel, outtakes, deleted/extended scenes from the musical,[19] and cast/crew commentary tracks.

In addition, the first season can be viewed on Space's website or purchased on iTunes Canada in standard definition widescreen.

[25] The first season was nominated for eight Gemini Awards,[26] of which it won Best Ensemble Performance in a Comedy Program or Series for "The Phantom of Crowley High".
