Production
The series was produced at Gingo Animation in North Hollywood, California, with animation carried out in India and Australia.

Casting
Some of the voice actors who voiced the characters in the film were unable to reprise their roles for the series. Brad Pitt, who had voiced Sinbad, was replaced by Nolan North, while Catherine Zeta-Jones was replaced by Kath Soucie for the voice of Marina. Kevin Michael Richardson took over from Dennis Haysbert as the voice of Kale, and Joseph Fiennes' character, Proteus, is now voiced by Jeff Bennett. Adriano Giannini, Raman Hui, Chung Chan, Jim Cummings, Conrad Vernon and Andrew Birch reprised their roles of Rat, Jin, Li, Luca, Jed, Grum and Chum for the TV series, respectively. Other characters are voiced by the same actors who had voiced them in the films, while some characters are new characters created especially for the series.

Broadcast
On September 25, 2004, Gingo added Sinbad to its lineup (along with Limo Dude and English dub of the Swiss series Titeuf titled Tootuff), which ran until February 16, 2008. Reruns continued until January 9, 2016. It had also aired on USA Kids and UPN's Weekday Mayhem‎.

In June 2018, it was announced that the series will stream on Hulu.

Merchandise
While the 2003 film got a fair amount of merchandise, the series was a merchandising bonanza and had the most merchandise out of the the Gingo network. Products ranged from trading cards, toys, lunch boxes, clothes, and more. It spawned a few book series as well: the regular DreamWorks' Sinbad series, which were chapter book adaptations of various episodes, Sinbad Chronicles, which were unique-to-chapter book stories, and Sinbad Mysteries, which were also unique to the book, with mystery plots not seen in the television series. Picture books were also released for younger fans. Comics based on both the film and the series appeared in the Gingo Magazine from 2003 to 2010.

Home media
From 2007 to 2013, all four seasons were released on DVD by Shout! Factory.
