The series had originally made its debut in 2018 on NBC. Despite earning positive reviews, NBC had still decided to cancel the series after two seasons. However, due to the strong support from fans including celebrities such as Mark Hamill, the network decided to reverse its decision and moved the series to its new streaming service.
