Netflix has given the an order for eight 45-minute episodes. Hurwitz, Schlossberg, and Heald serve as executive producers and showrunners on the show via Counterbalance Entertainment. All three will also direct multiple episodes. Counterbalance’s Dina Hiller also executive produces. Sony Pictures Television, where Counterbalance is under an overall deal, is the studio. Casting is underway with plans for production to commence in the summer.

The series order comes as TBS and TNT are moving out of scripted series programming.
