The show premiered on Disney+ Star in June 2022 and ran for 10 weeks. The first season is near-completely faithful to the first book with extra plot points and character development added which Michael Grant advised personally.

Daniel Stephen developed the show after being a fan of the books in his childhood, he had pencilled a script for a Gone movie to Grant in 2019 but it was shelved in favour of his work on Kingsman 1984 among other things. After several years, Stephen wrote a pilot script for a series and presented it to Kevin Fegie, hoping Marvel Studios would be interested in developing a different universe of heroes and buying the rights to the series, however, it was instead sent to Star Studios to be developed by Stephen and Grant further.
