The series is also executive-produced by Lee Child, Don Granger, and Lisa Kussner with Carolyn Harris, Kenny Madrid, and Niko Fernandez.
By August 2025, Paramount Television Studios had taken over production of the series following the merger of Skydance Television's parent company Skydance Media with CBS Studios' parent Paramount Global into Paramount Skydance.

She has some quite severe personal issues of her own that she's grappling with…I'm just thrilled to get going and sink my teeth in".
