King, and Jason Micallef. Charmaine DeGraté and Kor Adana serve as co-executive producers, with Rayne Roberts, Damian Anderson, Eileen Shim, and Rob Bredow on board as producers.
Headland takes the helm as director for the premiere episodes (Eps. 101 & 102), while the series benefits from the directorial talents of Kogonada (Eps. 103 & 107), Alex Garcia Lopez (Eps. 104 & 105), and Hanelle Culpepper (Eps. 106 & 108).
