Thomas Charles Anderson IV was born in Detroit, Michigan to Thomas Anderson and Tanya Anderson (née Cotton). He is an only child. Anderson grew up in Farmington Hills, Michigan and attended Franklin Road Christian School from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. On November 12, 2008 during his 4th grade year, his mother died at age 48.

After writing the script for the pilot in spring 2014, Anderson began looking for production companies for his show.
