David Frazee and Rachel Talalay serve as co-directors; Mackenzie Donaldson, Andrew Miller , and Carrie-Anne Moss are executive producers; and Charles Cooper is producer.

The series is distributed internationally by Sphere Abacus, a Bell Media company, and was exclusively acquired by AMC Global Media for AMC+ in the United States.
