With the announcement, Reynolds shared a few words about what his intentions are with these segments and why they chose Alf as the main star:

“At Maximum Effort, we love taking risks and blurring the lines between shows and sponsorship because we believe both can be equally entertaining. Besides my irrational love of ALF growing up, one of the reasons we licensed this show was precisely because Paul, Shout! Studios and our intrepid brand partners wanted to plot with us to bring ALF back to life. Tune in this Caturday!”

Maximum Effort was co-founded by the Deadpool star and George Dewey, and the name of the company references one of the popular lines the Merc with a Mouth says in the first film. The production house has been behind several projects mixing television, cinema and publicity with brands such as Aviation Gin or Mint Mobile.
