Development and production
TBS ordered a pilot for Ground Floor on February 21, 2013. The series was created by Bill Lawrence and Greg Malins, with Lawrence serving as executive producer alongside Jeff Astrof and Jeff Ingold, and the production companies Warner Bros. Television and Doozer.
Casting began in February 2013, with John C. McGinley cast as Mr. Mansfield, the boss. Skylar Astin and Briga Heelan then joined the cast in the two lead roles, with Astin playing Brody, a Harvard graduate and money manager who falls for Heelan's Jennifer, an intelligent maintenance worker. The next to be cast were Rene Gube and James Earl, with Gube in the role of Threepeat, a money manager, and Earl playing Derrick, a laid-back guy who works with Jennifer on the ground floor. Rory Scovel joined the series as "Harvard", a classic know-it-all who harbors an overt crush on his ground-floor co-worker Jennifer. Alexis Knapp was the final actor cast, appearing in the first season as Tori, a sexy co-worker of Jennifer's who hits the clubs at night and catches up on her sleep at work. Knapp and Astin had previously worked together in the comedy Pitch Perfect.
On May 10, 2013, TBS placed a series order on Ground Floor, which premiered on November 14, 2013.
On March 6, 2014, Ground Floor was renewed for a second season, which premiered December 9, 2014 and consisted of ten episodes.
