The series follows Hailey Banks, a risk-averse but resourceful teenager on a mission to complete every item on her long list of challenging (and sometimes impractical) tasks in order to save the world.

Trivia[]
- This is the second Disney TVA show to premiere simultaneously on the Disney Channel and Disney XD, and to continue to premiere new episodes simultaneously, following Kiff.
- This is the first Disney TVA series since Amphibia to not premiere on Disney Channel during a Friday night.
- The title is possibly also meant to be a reference to Halley's Comet.
- The original pitch initially called for Hailey being told how to save the world, only to not pay attention to the time traveling messenger. The pilot animation had the Professor saying that there was 337 list items. In the final show, no specific number is given.
- The show was originally set in San Diego, before moving to the fictional Oceanside.
- There is a real town in Southern California with this name, which the town is based on.
- This is the second Disney TV show to be created by Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton the first being Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything.
- This also makes it the 6th Disney Channel original animated series to be "Co-Created" (following Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb, Big City Greens, The Ghost and Molly McGee, and Kiff).
- Hailey Banks is the titular main protagonist in a Disney TVA show to have two younger siblings who are a set of twins the first being Kim Possible from Kim Possible (whose names are Jim & Tim Possible).
- This, Hamster & Gretel, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur are the last DTVA animated shows to feature serialized elements and story arcs, due to the announcement on October 2021 that Disney Television Animation would be moving story-driven shows away from the Disney Channel (future upcoming serialized story-driven shows by DTVA will be on Disney+ moving forward) and move onto more episodic-musical shows.
- This is overall the 11th and final series by DTVA to be serialized/story-driven and to premiere on Disney Channel, following Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, DuckTales (2017), Big Hero 6: The Series, Amphibia, The Owl House, Hamster & Gretel, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
- Ironically, the series was first unveiled on November 18, 2021; one month after the announcement.
- A running gag throughout the series are the frequent references to Moana, which starred Hailey's actress Auli'i Cravalho.
- Hailey's younger twin siblings are named Dwayne and Johnson, a reference to her co-star Dwayne Johnson.
- In "The Flamingo Must Flamin-Go", flashback shows that Hailey wanted a pig as a pet. A nod to Moana's pet pig Pua.
- In "Dance Like No Mom is Watching", Hailey's video game avatar is briefly dressed like Moana in her hula outfit.
- In "Smells Like Queen Spirit", Hailey asks Scott if he can imagine her being a princess, a reference to her role.
- In that same episode, Hailey faces off against a chaos bot that takes the form of a giant crab, a possible reference to Tamatoa.
- In Disney Mini Movie Marathon from Chibi Tiny Tales, Hailey says that she identifies with the film's lead character.
- This was one of Billy Kametz's final roles as he passed away June 9, 2022. The show premiered a year later after he died.
- The show's early title was I Will NOT Kiss Scott Federman. The reason for the change was most likely due to length, the fact that Scott was not the main character, his last name changing, and the fact that Hailey's main goal of saving the world somewhat superceded the premise.
