"Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders" was produced by the New York-based studios New Frontier Entertainment and Enchanted Camelot Productions for Bohbot Productions (later BKN) in 1995. The series was produced by much of the team behind the late 1980s science fiction cartoon "The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers", including the creator, co-writer and main director of both shows, Robert Mandell, after a long development process. Despite a similar theme and title, there are no connections with "King Arthur and the Knights of Justice", which was Bohbot Entertainment's other Arthurian-inspired cartoon series that was produced in 1992–1993. It was originally supposed to be a cartoon adaptation of the "Dragonriders of Pern" series of fantasy novels by Anne McCaffrey but eventually went in a different direction.
