Development
In June 2022, Brian Robbins, CEO of Paramount Pictures, said that there were plans for multiple feature film follow-ups to the then-upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023). In a July 2023 interview, director Jeff Rowe expressed interest in returning for a sequel featuring the Shredder. Later that month, Variety reported that a film sequel and an animated television series for Paramount+, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, had been greenlit. Rowe was set to return as director. Point Grey Pictures' Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver returned as producers alongside Ramsay McBean, who served as an executive producer on Mutant Mayhem.

In April 2024, it was reported that Kyler Spears and Yashar Kassai, who served as co-director and production designer on Mutant Mayhem, respectively, would be joining Rowe on the sequel as co-directors. In a July 2024 interview, Rogen said that the film had been titled and an animatic had been completed.

Writing
Rowe was confirmed to be writing the film in October 2023; writing for the film had already began by then. Rowe sought for the sequel to be "a villain-forward film" exploring the Shredder in a similar vein to Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight (2008), while also keeping the focus on the Turtles. In addition, he wanted the film's depiction of the Shredder to differ from previous portrayals while staying faithful to the original character.

Release
The film is scheduled to be theatrically released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on October 9, 2026.
