Production
Development
The origins of the series go back to the Television Critics Association summer 2016 press tour, where Wolf revealed plans for a crime drama series, placed in New York and set in the world of the FBI. Wolf's original plan was to introduce it on the NBC network as a planned spin-off to his New York crime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, where it was intended to introduce an FBI agent character, but NBC ultimately did not go through with it and the idea was later put on hold for different reasons. It's Wolf's first drama series to launch on a network other than NBC in 15 years. CBS officially picked up the series on September 20, 2017. The series is produced by CBS Television Studios and Universal Television.
Casting
On March 1, 2018, Zeeko Zaki was cast as Omar Adom.[3] A week later, Jeremy Sisto was cast as Jubal,[4] including Ebonée Noel also cast as Kristin.[6] Before the end of the month, Missy Peregrym had joined the cast as Maggie.[2] The FBI Special Agent in Charge in the first episode ("Pilot") was Ellen Solberg, played by Connie Nielsen. On May 16, 2018, the day of scheduling the series for fall 2018, Nielsen was announced to have left the series for undisclosed reasons.[32][33]
On July 13, 2018, Sela Ward was cast in the second episode as Dana Mosier who fulfills a similar role to Connie Nielsen who was in the first episode.[7] During the season finale, it was indicated that Ward would be departing the series after the first season.[8]
Broadcast and release
The season premiered on CBS on September 25, 2018. It aired on Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m.. Canada's Global TV premiered the show at the same time as the United States premiere.
