Development and casting edit

In October 2013, ABC announced it was developing a drama pilot created by John Ridley.[44] In January 2014, ABC greenlighted the pilot, and signed a deal with Ridley to direct.[45][46]

Elvis Nolasco and Caitlin Gerard were the first regular members to be cast, as announced on February 14, 2014.[47] Later Richard Cabral, Johnny Ortiz, Benito Martinez and W. Earl Brown were cast for regular supporting roles in the pilot.[48][49] In early March, Timothy Hutton was cast in a lead role as Russ, and Penelope Ann Miller signed on in a supporting role of the mother of the murdered man's wife.[50][51] Soon thereafter, it was announced that Felicity Huffman was cast in the lead role of Barb Skokie, Russ' stoic ex-wife and mother of the murdered young man.[52][53]

Filming edit

The pilot episode, along with further episodes, was filmed in Austin, Texas, which substitutes for the California city of Modesto.[54] On May 8, 2014, ABC picked up the pilot to the series for the 2014–15 television season.[3][4]

Filming for the series moved to Los Angeles, California with the third season, as the show's production was awarded a California tax credit.[38]
