In a newsletter published on July 25, 2015, creator Christy Hui announced that Chronicles would not continue with a second season and is a standalone series.

With the exception of Tara Strong (Omi, Ping Pong) and Jennifer Hale (Kimiko in Chronicles only, Katnappe, Willow), the original's voice cast was replaced due to budget and timing issues.

Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo and Clay have recently risen to the rank of Shoku Warrior except for Raimundo (who attained the rank previously), where they must continue to uphold their duty of finding and collecting all of the mystical Shen Gong Wu artifacts before the evil Heylin forces do.

Through the events of the show's pilot, the monks learn that Willow is actually a spy of the formidable Heylin warrior Chase Young called Shadow.

With Chase having stolen the Xiaolin Chi, Kimiko travels to the Planet of Dragons while the Boys, accompanied by Jack, follow.
