Polatin is also set to serve as showrunner and executive producer for the series, which is currently in production in Vancouver.

The series will be Deschanel’s first television appearance since her recurring role in TNT’s Animal Kingdom in 2019. The playwright and author also wrote and produced two seasons of Amazon’s Jack Ryan, starring John Krasinski, and Hulu’s Shut Eye.
