Development

On February 19, 2020, it was announced that HBO Max had given the project a pilot order. Ellen Rapoport was attached to write as well as executive produce alongside Paul Feig and Dan Magnante of Feigco Entertainment.[5] On September 3, 2020, Unpregnant director Rachel Lee Goldenberg was attached to direct and executive produce the pilot.[6] On April 5, 2021, it was announced that HBO Max had given the project a series pickup for ten half-hour episodes.[7] On May 5, 2022, HBO Max renewed the series for a second season.[2] However, on December 12, 2022, HBO Max canceled the series. At the time, production on the second season was near completion, and Lionsgate is planning to shop the series to other streaming services to allow it to be shown.[8] Despite the cancelation, filming for the second season continued to be conducted,[9] with Lovibond later announcing that it had wrapped on December 18, 2022.[10]

Casting

On September 16, 2020, Ophelia Lovibond was cast in the lead role.[11] On December 8, 2020, Idara Victor, Oscar Montoya, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, and Michael Angarano joined the main cast, with Jake Johnson cast in a guest role before being promoted to the main cast.[12][7]

Taylor Zakhar Perez was cast as firefighter Shane.[13] About the challenges he faced while playing the character, he said, "The biggest thing was grounding him, making him likable, and also playing against the line."[14]

Filming

The pilot began filming on December 6, 2020, in Los Angeles.[15]
