regular series orders for the 2017–18 United States network television schedule.[10] In May 2017
NBC announced that Matt Corman and Chris Ord would be the series' showrunners.[11]

In a letter published by the 'Renew The Brave' campaign, guest star Naren Weiss wrote about the
series as well as his reasoning for taking on one of the series' antagonist roles, stressing the
importance of Hadi Tabbal's portrayal and character (Amir Al-Raisani) in terms of the political
and entertainment landscapes of the time.[12] Despite this and several other fan campaigns, the
series was not renewed for a second season.
