The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib

The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib is an American animated comedy television series, created by Brandon Sawyer, and produced by DreamWorks Animation Television for Netflix. Loosely based on the books by Marla Frazee, and serving as a follow-up to the 2021 film The Boss Baby: Family Business, the series focuses on Ted Templeton as he is forced to resume his old life as Boss Baby, working alongside his niece Tina, while contending with several issues that impede babies from receiving full attention and love from adults.

The series featured a new cast, though with J. P. Karliak reprising his role from the 2018 series The Boss Baby: Back in Business. Back in the Crib premiered in May 2022, and ran for two seasons, though received mixed reception from critics.

Following the events of the 2021 film The Boss Baby: Family Business, Theodore Lindsay "Ted" Templeton finds himself wanted by the FBI for embezzlement, finding out that his company's board of executives framed him for their own crime. To avoid capture, Ted makes use of a special baby formula developed by Baby Corp to rejuvenate himself into a baby again, hoping to hide from his pursuers by returning to his old life as the Boss Baby and living with his older brother Tim and his family - Carol, his wife; Tabitha, his eldest daughter; and Tina, his younger daughter, and an employee of Baby Corp. To co-exist with them, Ted returns to working with Baby Corp and helping them ensure that babies receive love and attention from grownups, whilst Carol is let in on the life he and Tina lead - a fact that no adult must know about, otherwise their minds would break.

Throughout much of the first season, Ted focuses on working alongside Tina's team, as they contend with new issues brought about by a new group of arch-nemeses to the company. In the second season, Ted and Tina launch their own baby-love company after being fired by Baby Corp, contending with a new adversary who sought to ruin their lives and take over the company.

Inspiration for the series happened when creator Brandon Sawyer watched a rough cut of The Boss Baby: Family Business by Tom McGrath and Michael McCullers. The series was worked on during the production of the sequel.

Animation for the series was provided by Technicolor Animation Productions.

On September 27, 2023, executive producer Sawyer replied in a now-deleted post on Twitter to a question about whether the second season was truly its last, saying that season 2 was "the end of Back in the Crib", signifying that the series was over after two seasons.

The series premiered on Netflix on May 19, 2022. A second season was released on April 13, 2023.
