The television pilot was written by Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, who had written for the series Terra Nova (TV series). Due to the series being labeled as "cast contingent", the series did not move forward until the roles of Cole and Goines were cast.

The eleven-episode fourth season ran from June 15 to July 6, 2018 for four straight weeks.. Which season had the second most episodes?
