The series was filmed at Elstree Studios in London.
The series was created by Robert Evans and produced by Paul McKenzie. It is based on Evans' real life niece Sadie and her younger brother Danny (who also share their names with the onscreen brother and sister).
The theme song, "In a Boy's World", performed by Georgia Lock, was available to download on iTunes but later had been removed. In the second series it was revamped with a different beat and melody, as with the third series.
A soundtrack for the show was to be released sometime in 2013. It will include songs from and inspired by the show, including original songs by Georgia Lock alongside other songs by artists such as The Wanted and Cheryl Cole. This idea was probably scrapped as of the final episode.
In early 2013, a complete boxset of Sadie J was announced by BBC, to be released in Christmas 2013. However, on 1 November 2013, BBC stated that since the soundtrack was postponed, there would not be a point to make a DVD.
