Production
The series had entered development at HBO Max in September 2019 after being greenlit for a pilot order, with Chris Keyser showrunning, and Joan Cusack nearing a deal to star in the titular role.[1] By March 2020, Cusack exited the series, with Sarah Lancashire cast in her place. Tom Hollander, Brittany Bradford, Bebe Neuwirth and Isabella Rossellini were added in supporting roles.[2] In September, David Hyde Pierce was cast to replace Hollander, who exited the project.[3]
Filming took place in Boston in October 2020.[4] It will resume filming in late spring 2021 after it was picked up for a series order.[5]
