The series focuses on a young girl named Esme and her best friend, a monster named Roy, who care for all kinds of creatures when their regular guardians need aid. Esme and Roy was broadcast simultaneously on HBO in the United States and Treehouse TV in Canada on August 18, 2018.[3][4][5] It was the first original show for HBO Family since Classical Baby, but ironically, it also ended up being the final original show for HBO Family at all.

A holiday-themed episode was released on December 10, 2020.[9] The second season premiered on PBS Kids on Saturday, March 6, 2021.[10]
The show was removed from HBO Max on August 17, 2022.[11]
