Production

Development

On February 8, 2019, it was announced that ABC had given the production a pilot order. The pilot was written by Julius Sharpe and executive produced by Sharpe, Seth Gordon and Julia Gunn.[7]

ABC initially slated the series as a mid-season replacement for the spring of 2020, with an eight-episode order.[8][9] However, upon the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, ABC left the series off the schedule. In May 2020, Deadline Hollywood reported that ABC was looking to delay the premiere for the fall lineup of the 2020–21 television season, due to the unknown length of the pandemic. The same was done at rival network Fox, where two other new scripted series, Filthy Rich and NeXt, were also delayed to the 2020–21 fall schedule.[9]The series did not make ABC's fall schedule, but the next day, ABC announced that the series would premiere on July 15, 2020.[1]

Casting

It was announced in March 2019, with Will Sasso, Christina Vidal, Jane Curtin, and Jason Michael Snow in the pilot's lead roles, and Mark Cendrowski as the pilot's director.[10][3][11] On May 11, 2019, ABC ordered the pilot to series.[6] In September, Guillermo Díaz joined the cast in a main role.[4]

Notes
  1. Episodes are ordered based on the "credit date" column of the Writers Guild of America West website, then by alphabetical order if there is more than one credit on that date.[5]
