The series is created and executive produced by David E. Kelley and Kyle Long, with Kelley's production company, David E. Kelley Productions (DEKP), involved in the project. Matthew Tinker of DEKP, Harlan Coben via Final Twist Productions, and Rick Muirragui will also serve as executive producers. Greg Yaitanes will direct multiple episodes of the show.
