Development

The book was discovered by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter prior to its publication. Witherspoon went on to choose the book as her September 2017 book club pick and soon after it was published it became an instant bestseller. Witherspoon then brought the book to Kerry Washington, and together the pair approached Liz Tigelaar to adapt and showrun the novel as a limited series. The project began its development at ABC Signature, the cable/streaming division of ABC Studios where Hello Sunshine has a network-only deal and Simpson Street has an overall deal.

On March 2, 2018, the production was officially announced but a network had yet to be determined. The series is set to be written and showrun by Tigelaar who will also executive produce alongside Witherspoon, Washington, Lauren Neustadter, and Pilar Savone. The author of the novel, Ng, will act as producer. Production companies involved in the series include Hello Sunshine, Simpson Street, ABC Signature Studios. On March 12, 2018, it was announced that Hulu had been given the production an eight episode order. This series order reportedly came after a multiple-outlet bidding war involving various networks and streaming services. In April 2019, it was announced Lynn Shelton would direct the series and serve as an executive producer.
