Development The series is from
Dan Levy and
Rachel Sennott and was picked up by
Netflix in May 2025 as part of Levy's overall deal with the streaming service. Levy also acts as showrunner and leads the cast as well as serving as executive producer alongside Rachel Sennott and Anne-Marie McGintee for Not a Real Production Company. Executive producers also include
Dean Holland who directed the first two episodes,
Etan Frankel, and
Timothy Greenberg. Erin Levy and Jacqui Rivera also served as co-executive producers. The series underwent multiple changes during its development. The comedy was originally created by Levy and Sennott as a starring vehicle for the duo as siblings, but Sennott's HBO comedy
I Love LA was picked up to series, ruling her out. A casting search led to Taylor Ortega being cast in the sister role by early March 2025, while
Laurie Metcalf had already been cast.
Casting Alongside Levy, Ortega, and Metcalf,
Jack Innanen,
Boran Kuzum and
Abby Quinn were cast.
Elizabeth Perkins, Jacob Gutierrez,
Joe Barbara,
Josh Fadem and
Mark Ivanir appear in recurring roles.
Filming Principal photography began in
New Jersey in August 2025. ==Episodes==
