The series was originally titled 'Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters' before being renamed to 'Teenage Bounty Hunters' upon the announcement of its premiere date, dropping the word 'slutty'.

The show was created by Kathleen Jordan, with Jenji Kohan among the executive producers.

The pilot episode was directed by Jesse Peretz.

The series was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia between July and October 2019.

Netflix canceled the show after just one season on October 5, 2020, less than two months after its release.

The series received strong critical acclaim, earning a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 28 reviews and a Metacritic score of 72/100.

Despite its cancellation, the show was later featured on several 'best of 2020' television lists, including those from The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Vulture, with Vulture naming it one of 'The Best Overlooked 2020 TV Series'.

Critics highlighted the on-screen chemistry between lead actresses Maddie Phillips and Anjelica Bette Fellini, noting that despite not looking very similar, their comic timing as twin sisters was a key strength of the show.
