It was announced in August 2022 that Apple TV+ was nearing a series order, with Brian Tyree Henry starring. Ridley Scott will direct an episode in addition to executive producing.[3] The cast, including Michael Mando, Marin Ireland and Kate Mulgrew, were announced in the following months.[4][5][6] In January 2023, Amir Arison was cast,[7] with Ving Rhames, Dustin Nguyen and Nesta Cooper among additional castings the following month.[8] Kiều Chinh was cast in March.[9]

Filming began in February 2023 in Philadelphia.[10] Following an on-set altercation with another actor, Mando was fired, with Wagner Moura cast to replace him.[11] On May 9, filming was halted due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.[12]
