The screenplay was penned by LeFauve and Dave Holstein. In discussing the creation of the sequel, Holstein shared, "The first film gave everyone a visual language to talk about their feelings. I thought, 'If I can do that for teenagers' — which was probably the hardest time in my life — 'and if I can make that time a little better, then I'd love to." This sentiment reflects the film's aim to resonate with its teenage audience.
