Development

While originally intended to air on NBC midseason in the 2009–2010 TV season with a thirteen-episode season, it was reported on October 1, 2009 that the episode order had been reduced to four and would air as a mini-series. On January 10, 2010 it was announced that only the pilot would air, as a TV movie.

If the TV movie performs well the story may be continued. On May 16, 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported that the show would likely never air.
