Production edit
Hiroko Nishi and Takeshi Yoda had wanted to develop a late-night 13-episode television series that would focus on Over the Rainbow, the male characters of Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live, but their original plan was rejected.[15] When it was reworked into a film, it was rejected again, and the staff were told that if they were able to provide evidence that the project would work out, then it would be approved.[15] When the full version of Over the Rainbow's theme song, "Athletic Core", received positive feedback.[16] a character song album centered on them was produced.[17][18] In 2015, Over the Rainbow appeared in the movie Gekijō-ban PriPara: Minna Atsumare!

The film was financially successful, with fans attending the cheer screenings multiple times with glowsticks.[19] After executives at Avex Pictures assessed the popularity of cheer screenings, they then approved the King of Prism by Pretty Rhythm film project.
