The series had a sneak peak premiere on Disney Channel on January 18, 2015, and it officially started on Disney XD on March 30, 2015.[1][2]
The show was created by Daron Nefcy (former storyboard revisionist for Wander Over Yonder), the first woman to create a show for Disney XD and the second to create a series for Disney Television Animation. Dave Wasson serves as director and Jordana Arkin as story editor, while both also co-executive produce the series.
Disney XD ordered a second season for Star vs. the Forces of Evil before its official premiere on March 30, 2015.[2]
Plot
Star vs. the Forces of Evil is an animated comedy adventure that follows fun-loving magical teen princess, Star Butterfly, who -- after a few bold skirmishes with other-worldly monsters -- is sent by her Royal Parents to live with the Diaz family on Earth, bringing along her own unique inter-dimensional style to her new planet. With the Diaz's teenage son Marco by her side, this foreign exchange student from another dimension embarks on new adventures battling evil villains throughout the multiverse and in high school, all in an effort to protect her powerful magic wand which she is still figuring out how to use.

History
Daron Nefcy originally came up with the idea of Star and began pitching it to various television networks when she was a junior in college. The idea remained in her mind over the course of six years, and while the character of Star stayed the same, the show kept evolving and evolving.[3]
When she originally pitched the show to Disney, Star was a grade schooler who believed that she had magical powers, albeit it just being in her head. However, an executive suggested changing Star into a teenager with real magical powers. After feeling that she failed pitching the idea to SVP of Original Series Eric Coleman, Daron retooled her pitch, which resulted in Star becoming a foreign exchange student from another dimension with a magical wand. It took a year for Daron and her team to create a pilot, and two more years to create the first season.[4]
Several of the series' influences, according to Nefcy, include Sailor Moon, Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series, and Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim's Dungeon series.[3]
Trivia
- The series' working title was Star and the Forces of Evil before it was changed.
- The series was originally scheduled to air a sneak peak on November 26, 2014 before it officially premiered in January 2015. However, it was later removed from the schedule and replaced with a Star Wars Rebels rerun. Daron, when asked about it, replied that there wasn't any plans for a sneak peak that she knew of. The actual premiere date of the sneak peak episode was January 18, 2015, and the show's official premiere was not in January but March 2015.
- The series was originally pitched as Star being a grade school girl with an over-active imagination.
