The series was produced at the end of the original movie series and live-action television series, and was for many years the last Planet of the Apes-project. [1]  Together with the movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes this series is the only one of the original Planet of the Apes-productions where Roddy McDowall was not involved.

The series was originally aired on National Broadcasting Company. In 1992, the series was repeated on Sci Fi Channel. The music of the series was composed by Dean Elliott and Eric Rogers

The series was criticized for, among other things, the high degree to which old drawings, such as backgrounds, were repeatedly used to reducing production costs. [2]  the series was acclaimed for the camera work, the stories, and the illustrations, also created by Doug Wildey. [3] ==Story[ Edit] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the series ended up a new group of terrestrial planet, astronauts on the monkeys and end up in the conflict between the advanced monkeys civilization and primitive people.
