Development
In 2010, when MTV renewed Painless Tom for a third season, they offered series creators Cole Wilson and Jacob Shirey a chance to develop a feature-length film based on the series that was slated for a theatrical release. Paramount asked Wilson and Shirey to do "the biggest idea they could think of" for the film. After looking at the series, They decided to make the movie about Tom and Sam going on an adventure to discover how Tom got his ability to never get hurt from. This became known as The Painless Tom Movie. However, in 2013, the series ended, leaving the movie to be scrapped. According to Shirey, the film was to serve as the "true finale" to the series.

During subsequent years, Shirey shared many details, characters and plot points of the movie; however, he did not reveal any significant spoilers in the event that the movie might someday get made. Around 2015, many fans started online petitions to convince Comedy Central to greenlight the movie. In May 2016, Jacob Shirey revealed that he was back at Viacom having meetings with them. In July, it was revealed that Shirey, Cole Wilson, and Comedy Central's executives were interested in reviving Painless Tom.

With the launch of MTV Studios in 2018, it was reported that a Painless Tom revival was in the planning stages. In 2019, Comedy Central and MTV Studios reported that they had revived the show, and it would be preceeded by a TV movie that would answer all the fans' questions, including the origins of Tom's ability, with Shirey set to write and direct.
