It was also revealed that Tassie Cameron and Sherry White would act as co-showrunners with David Wellington would direct the first episode.[6] The launch of production was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada; during the summer, further, the racial protests associated with the murder of George Floyd in the United States and the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet in Canada led Cameron and White to rewrite some of their scripts.[3]

On February 11, 2020, it was announced that the series would star Meredith MacNeill and Adrienne C. Moore.[6] On September 8, 2020, CBC announced that Karen Robinson, Tara Strong, Dean McDermott, Al Mukadam, Percy Hynes White, Katie Douglas, and Ronnie Rowe would be joining the cast.[7]

Filming[]

Filming was set to begin in early spring, but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.[3] In September 2020, filming was underway in the Toronto area.[7]
