## Production

Farzar was announced to the public on January 29th, 2021, when Netflix Tweeted a promotional poster for the show, saying that a new show made by *Paradise PD* showrunners, Roger Black and Waco O'Guin would be hitting the streaming service, after the duo signed a multi-year partnership with the company. The series was confirmed to premiere on July 15th, 2022, which it did.

On November 16th, 2023, it was announced that Farzar had been cancelled after one season. This was likely due to a myriad of contributing factors that happened over the past year, such as the death of their lead actor, Lance Reddick on March 17th, 2023 and the 2023 Writer's Strike, which went from May 2nd, 2023 to September 27th, 2023, which greatly put Farzar through production hell and ultimately canceled it.

## Trivia

* Farzar loosely draws inspiration from *He-Man and the Masters of the Universe*, one of Roger Black and Waco O'Guin's favorite shows, growing up.
