Creation (

Lone Star for the
Fox network.
Kyle Killen was conceived of Hannah and the rest of the family and series in 2011 after a report that NBC had purchased the series from the creator Killen, under the original name
REM. Killen had been called in to pitch a new drama for
NBC, after Jennifer Salke, the president of the entertainment division of NBC, encouraged Killen to conceive a concept for a new drama television series after the cancellation of
Lone Star on the Fox network. Within a few weeks, Killen sent a rough draft of the script to his agent Marc Korman. "It was 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, and I remember I was so freaked out by the script that I went upstairs to our guest bedroom where my wife was sick with the flu and I got into bed with her," recalled Korman. "I called Jen and said: 'I'm telling you, this script is remarkable. I've never read a pilot like this, and for a guy who has never written a procedural show in his life, he's actually making two cases work".
Personality Since Rex's death, Hannah has been very emotional, due to this. She began to renovate their home. Though she hardly showed it, she felt great pain and grievance over the death of Rex and was saddened by the thought of his empty room upstairs. == Reception ==
