## Production

Around 2016, The JChannel wanted to begin working on a brand new show for the network that would be a big hit. So they began working on an Idea for a series.

This series would have been about the story of 5 friends throughout their journey in High School filled with lots of drama. They had created four of the five main characters in that series before realizing that this wasn’t really the show that he wanted to make, so he paused on it. They wanted the show to have a full message at the center of it and he could not figure it out.

After holding off on beginning the project, they finally came up with the idea of a story about a twin brother and sister and their friends and family.
