thank you Marc! 

Leading up the cast of the series is Josh Holloway, who Abrams had in mind when co-writing the series. He stars as Jim, a getaway driver who is brought into an FBI mission. Rachel Hilson also has a lead role as Nina, a new FBI agent who enlists Jim in her effort to take down a crime boss. Keith David appears as Ezra, the crime boss whom the two pursue.

The series was given a straight to series green-light at HBO Max in April 2020, as part of J. J. Abrams' overall deal at WarnerMedia. The series was co-created and co-written by Abrams and LaToya Morgan. The first season has eight episodes, the first two written by the creators. Steph Green is also an executive producer, and she directed the first two episodes.

In March 2021, Josh Holloway was cast to star in the pilot, with filming beginning in October 2021 in Tucson. In February 2023, the series was officially given a series order, with Rachel Hilson announced as a co-lead. Corbin Bernsen was announced in a recurring role the following month.

Production for the full series began in April 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the surrounding areas. In May, it was suspended due to the 2023 WGA strike. Before the strike, the pilot was shot in downtown Tucson, Arizona, and parts of Pima County from September through mid-November 2021

  1. You're welcome, Jesse. I zoomed in on the second picture, and there is even a Plymouth Duster logo on the keys, and the car has an add-on 8-track player.
