The first 10 episodes of the second season aired in the summer of 2011 following "Futurama" and the remaining 7 episodes aired from March 14, 2012 following "South Park". Pre-production was handled at Brooklyn-based Augenblick Studios, and then the animation for the first season and the first half of the second season was produced in Flash and handled at Cuppa Coffee Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The animation for the second half of season two was handled by Markle Productions and Solis Animation in Toronto. Sound Design and Mixing was done at Great City Productions in New York City. David M.

On May 29, 2013, the show's producers announced the series' cancellation via the show's Facebook page, saying: "the network did everything in their power to keep the show alive by trying to find outside financing. We came very close but unfortunately some legal technicalities kept any deals from going through." The possibility of the show continuing via other mediums, such as web shorts or graphic novels, was not ruled out. On September 3, 2014, the series was revived as an app for iOS. "Ugly Americans" holds a Metascore of 60, gaining positive reviews from the likes of "Entertainment Weekly" and "The Washington Post". "Variety" Brian Lowry called it "more a triumph of design and concept than execution" and added, "Not everything works, but with its bountiful supply of visual gags, "Americans" is just goofy enough to be good."
