Casting
The season features the return of the main cast, who have voiced the ninja characters across the series, excluding Kirby Morrow as the character Cole. Crystalized was the first season to feature Andrew Francis as the character's voice actor. Francis was cast in the role following the loss of Morrow, who had previously voiced the character since the beginning of the series. Series co-creator Tommy Andreasen released an open letter to fans explaining the decision to recast the part of Cole. He stated that several options had been considered regarding the character's future, including retiring the character, using existing dialogue from previous seasons to retain Morrow's voice in the series, creating a story where Cole does not speak, or recasting. The Ninjago team made the ultimate decision to recast the part. Andreasen explained, "We must remain true to the character Kirby shaped. Cole is crucial in the 2022 story and the World and Ninjago need Cole. So, recasting it was! And a very hard and emotional one at that."{{Cite web |last=Graham |date=2021-10-19 |title=Andrew Francis cast as Cole in LEGO NINJAGO |url=https://blocksmag.com/andrew-francis-cast-as-cole-in-lego-ninjago/ |access-date=2022-05-21 |website=Blocks magazine – the monthly LEGO magazine for fans |language=en-GB}}
Andreasen revealed on Twitter that a new actor voicing a new character would be introduced in the season, which he described as, "one of the weirdest and wonderful ones [the writers] have ever come up with." He also revealed that the character Jake would return in the season, voiced by Nicholas Holmes, and that the character Kai would have, "much love and romance in the year to come."{{Cite web |last=Forward |first=Devon |date=2021-09-07 |title=Ninjago Season 15 - What We Know So Far |url=https://www.looper.com/597056/ninjago-season-15-release-date-cast-plot/ |access-date=2022-05-21 |website=Looper.com |language=en-US}}
