My Goldfish Is Evil! was first presented at
MIPCOM 2002 by Sardine Productions. In June 2003,
CBC Television and
VRAK.TV picked up the series for development. In February 2004,
Super Écran and VRAK officially picked the series up, with a finalized CBC deal pending. At the time, the show was set to enter production in spring 2004, with the first season airing in September 2005. Later that month, CBC officially greenlit the series. Over the summer of 2005, Sardine reported that the series would begin production in October, with CBC and
Télévision de Radio-Canada now attached as the sole broadcasters. The English debut was set for fall 2006 and a French one in January 2007. The series was officially renewed for a second season by both channels in April 2006. International syndication rights to the series were initially awarded to S.K.A. Distribution in July 2004, a newly formed co-venture between Sardine Productions,
Kutoka Interactive and Avanti Ciné Vidéo. Distribution, alongside licensing, merchandise, and home video rights were given to
PorchLight Entertainment in April 2006. In 2012,
Cyber Group Studios acquired the rights to the TV series, which they now distribute. ==Episodes==
