Production
[edit]The seven-part series has Steven Conrad as the series writer, showrunner, executive producer, and director. It started development in 2022 with David Harbour and Pedro Pascal attached to star and executive produce and was originally inspired by the James Lasdun article in The New Yorker entitled "My Dentist's Murder Trial: Adultery, False Identities, and a Lethal Sedation". However, in October 2024, it was announced that Pascal was no longer involved and the creative direction of the series had evolved into a wholly original idea with no connection to the original article, with Jason Bateman joining the series to star alongside Harbour and serve as an executive producer for Aggregate Films. Additional executive producers include James Lasdun, as well as Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch for Escape Artists, Molly Allen, Bruce Terris, and Michael Costigan for Aggregate Films, Kristina Wenson for Bravo Axolotl, and MGM Television.[1]
Linda Cardellini joined the cast in December 2024.[6][7] Richard Jenkins and Arlan Ruf joined the cast in January 2025.[8][9] Chris Perfetti and Joy Sunday were added to the cast in February.[10]
Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia, in May 2025.[11][12]
The first trailer showed locations in Cumming and Johns Creek, Georgia.[13]
Release
[edit]The series is set to premiere on HBO on March 1, 2026.[14]
Reception
[edit]The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 79% approval rating based on 19 critic reviews.[15] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 73 out of 100 based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable".[16]
