Premise
Three years after Time Force: Before the Next Gen, four college students (who are the children of the Force from the original series) find a scrapbook containing photos of the adventures David, Cody, Sadie, and Pat had prior to the start of the series; by opening up the scrapbook, they find themselves ending up with time-travelling powers that can be activated via friendship bracelets. With their new powers, they must protect time and space like the previous Force had done.

Filming
Filming of the first season began in May 2019 in Toronto, Ontario, with scenes focusing on the original Force being filmed between Toronto and Vancouver. Season one wrapped filming in February 2020, with post-production being done remotely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Filming of the second season began in August 2021, before wrapping in July 2022.

Nickelodeon Family implied that filming of the third and final season would only run over a four-month period beginning in January 2023. However, this period was extended by a month in case of pick-ups and reshoots.

Episodes
TBA.

Syndication
The series would start airing on linear television on Nickelodeon Family's NFGo! block in July 2021.

Anime
An anime series serving as a prequel, Time Force: Before the Next Gen, began airing on TV Akihabara in July 2020, a few months before the main series premiered. Crunchyroll, Funimation, and HiDive simulcast both cours of the anime.

Another anime, Time Force Next Gen: The Animation, will cover the first season of the series. The first episode was announced to be released on Flare+ on July 31st, 2021.
