Development and production
The series was originally developed and ordered as a pilot in 2012 by sister network AMC, but was not picked up. It was, however, left in contention for a possible pickup at a later date. By the time WE TV had decided to pick up the show, David Manson, who was showrunner for the pilot, had moved to Netflix's House of Cards, with John Tinker ultimately stepping in as showrunner for the series.
