Genndy Tartakovsky was already making a name for himself for Cartoon Network, as he played a significant role in developing episodes of ''The Powerpuff Girls,'' and created ''Dexter’s Laboratory.'' When the show aired, it got positive reviews for its storytelling, which were mostly episodic. However, after Season 4 ended, the show went on hiatus, failing to get a Season 5 on Cartoon Network. More bad news came for Tartakovsky and the showrunners, as Mako who voiced Aku died in 2006. However, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network’s more adult channel, renewed the show for a ten-episode season that aired in 2017. To replace Mako, they cast Greg Baldwin as Aku, who also replaced Mako as Uncle Iroh in the third and final season of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]],'' and finished his work as Master Splinter in the 2007 film, ''TMNT.'' Unlike the first four seasons which were given a TV-Y7 rating, this season was rated TV-14, which allowed Tartakovsky and co. be able to dive into deeper themes, and show more violence. Furthermore, the final season was more overarching, abandoning the episodic format the show had for the first four seasons. The show’s final episode, officially called ''CI,'' aired on May 20, 2017.

Furthermore, the final season was more overarching, abandoning the episodic format the show had for the first four seasons. All the episodes were officially named after Roman numerals, going from I-LII in the first four seasons, then XCII-CI in the last season to show how much time past in the show’s continuity, but in the first four seasons, each episode had a subtitle which were more traditionally sounding then a number, before that idea was dropped during the final season. The show’s final episode, officially called ''CI,'' aired on May 20, 2017.
