Production
In January 2020, GMA Network hired Riot Inc. for the post-production of the series. Toei Company supervised the series, whom later gave an approval through a commendation letter.

Mark A. Reyes was hired as the director of the television series, and has been attached for eight years, from the pitching and approval of the series. Noel Layon Flores served as the lead visual designer. Suzette Doctolero was attached as the writer.

Production sets had been made for Camp Big Falcon, the Boazanian Skull Ship and the Boazanian Earth underground base. The costumes took a year to produce, undergoing several revisions. Reyes said that they had to establish a "good marriage within the classic Voltes V look and one that's acceptable nowadays" when it comes to the series' visuals, adding that they deviate from using spandex for the costumes.

Production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Principal photography commenced on May 28, 2021. It was halted in August 2021 due to the enhanced community quarantine in National Capital Region. Filming concluded in August 2023.

Release
A theatrical version Voltes V: Legacy – The Cinematic Experience, premiered on April 18, 2023, in SM North EDSA, Quezon City. A limited theatrical release was held at SM Cinemas the following day. The 107 minute film covers content from the first 15 episodes of the television series. The series made its television debut on GMA Network on May 8, 2023. All aired episodes are also uploaded on the GMA Network YouTube channel.
