Jimmy Tatro and Christian A. Pierce co-created and executive produced the series, writing every episode themselves.

Jimmy Tatro co-directed season one alongside Michael J. Gallagher, then took over as sole director for every episode of seasons two and three.

The series is a mockumentary parody that lampoons Southern California reality TV culture, specifically spoofing shows like Jersey Shore and The Real Housewives.

The show began as a YouTube web series with a first season of just four episodes before moving to Facebook Watch for season two.

The series received a nomination at the 10th Shorty Awards for Best Web Series.

The franchise expanded beyond the original series with a feature-length film, The Real Bros of Simi Valley: The Movie, released on The Roku Channel on July 4, 2024.

Later seasons featured an extensive roster of celebrity guest stars playing exaggerated characters or themselves, including Pete Davidson, Simon Rex, Victoria Justice, and comedian Cody Ko as one of the main 'Bros'.
