Synopsis

Extremely talented musicians, singers, dancers and actors have gone through an extensive auditioning process to attend the prestigious Hollywood School of the Arts (HSA) in Hollywood, California. Not only are they here to further their respective artistic careers, but also to compete for a spot in a worldwide concert, towards the goal of achieving ultimate fame and unlocking their full potential.

Trivia

• Because there isn't any news about the series and Jeremy Zag doesn't acknowledge it since 2016, it's likely the project has been shelved.
• The project's existence was first revealed on the ZAG website in 2014. According to the synopsis from the site, the series is planned to have 4 specials, 10 webisodes, a Japanese Anime OVA, and 104 episodes.
  • In the 2016 version of the ZAG website, the number of episodes has been changed to 78. It also revealed that the series is going to have one song in each episode.

• According to the ZAG website's release timeline in 2016, it mentioned that SuperStar was planned to be released in 2018. An updated timeline in 2017 delayed the show to 2020.
• A production model of a character named Electro was created by character modeler Stephen Anderson. The existence of the production model was revealed on his social media platforms.
  • According to Anderson on his DeviantArt, he created the production model in 2014 as a display maquette for "various animation fairs and cons that [ZAG] attended that year".
