==== Conception ====
Creator Jesse Robledo Jr began working on The Others in September 2017. Robledo wanted to do the opposite of what he had done previously and thus began his work on the series. He stated, "I'm going from making people laugh on Good Enough to scaring them with The Others. I wanted to do something challenging and dark after watching It and loving how scary it was and the whole scared vibe I had in October." Before he began writing he contacted singer/actress Ela!ne, who he had worked with previously on the 2014 sitcom Good Enough. Ela!ne was intrigued by the idea of entering the horror genre and starring in the series.
In November 2017, FX officially announced that it had ordered a pilot for a possible series from Jesse Robledo Jr writing and directing. Jerome Muniz was announced as executive producer. FX officially announced the project had been given a series order consisting of 6 episodes. Jesse cut it down to 5 episodes after script changes.
==== Casting ====
Casting announcements began in August 2018, with Ela!ne first to be cast, portraying female lead Carrie Lambert. When Jesse Robledo Jr presented the role to her, Ela!ne agreed to the idea of using her real-life daughter, Jimena Robledo, and to also show real emotion in the horror scenes with a baby. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, series creator Jesse Robledo Jr stated "We've really had the whole season mapped out from the beginning, in the meetings with Ela!ne, I was able to say this is where you start, this is the middle, and this is where you end up."
Brianna Danielle was cast as the lead Alex Lambert. Despite having a busy year already planned with the Super Bowl Halftime Show and a world tour for her new album, she agreed to the role because it didn't require a large number of episode commitment. "I wasn't about to commit to, you know, six months. I was already planning for a world tour that would take up all my time."
Drea Von D was cast as Carrie's sister, Abby Lambert. Drea was to portray a pregnant woman on the show while actually being pregnant with her first daughter during the time but due to filming complications the sho was not able to film around her pregnancy and Von D's role was written out of the script.
Johnny was cast last as the demon Naarah, towards the end, while the rest of the cast had been filming for two months. "Once I put the makeup and nails I felt excited and great to be apart of the project, I didn't pay attention to any of the other script besides my own parts, because I wanted to see it with everyone else and not know what's going to happen to an extent."
==== Filming ====
The pilot episode was shot on location in a house in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which serves as the haunted house in the series. The series is filmed on sets that are an exact replica of the inside of the house. The first day of filming began on June 10. Ela!ne also shot on location in Downtown Albuquerque in front of El Buen Samaritano United Methodist Church.
==== Second Season ====
Talks for a second season was already in the works beginning October, as Drea Von D and Katy Rose were set to star in the next chapter of Diaval's (GRome) journey. Producer Jesse Robledo Jr said he wanted something even more scarier. Season two was set to premiere the following year, in October 2019, but plans were shot down, due to GRome and Drea Von D working on their debut film, Hocus Pocus.
On May 12, 2019, Walt Disney Pictures & Paradise Films announced the cancellation of the film, 2 months prior to filming. GRome said he had become disinterested with the project and wanted to work on Season 2 of The Others.
==== Title Sequence ====
The opening title sequence was created by Jesse Robledo Jr and the company Prologue. The theme music was composed by Benjamin Wallsfisch. The sequence includes images of black cone hooded figures, flesh, minotaur, drawing of a demon eating a child, a horse eye, and people performing cult rituals. Jesse Robledo Jr described the sequence as an easy way to show who "the others" were, a cult, and stated "By the time you see the fourth episode, the title sequence will be explained."

The musical score for The Others was composed by Benjamin Wallsfisch and Joseph Bishara, who have worked on the Insidious (2011), The Conjuring (2013), and Annabelle: Creation (2017) soundtracks. "While doing my research, I learned early on the score of horror films is very important and a big part of the project, scary music scares you," said Jesse Robledo Jr.
On November 9, 2018 Paradise Records released the official soundtrack, The Others (Music from the FX Series), featuring the show's theme song, original score, and songs by David Bowie and No Doubt.
