Mrs. Davis was created by Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez at Warner Bros. Television, and the show received a 10-episode series order for Peacock. The pair would both co-write and executive produce, with Hernandez acting as showrunner. Susan Rovner had been developing the series with them at Warner Bros., and after leaving for NBCUniversal, she out-bid other broadcasters and streamers to buy the show.[4] Owen Harris and Alethea Jones are executive producing and will each direct multiple episodes.[2]
Casting began in March 2022, starting with Betty Gilpin in the lead role of a nun battling artificial intelligence,[5] and Jake McDorman starring opposite her.[6] Margo Martindale, Andy McQueen, and Ben Chaplin were added to the main cast,[7] while David Arquette and Elizabeth Marvel received recurring roles.[2] After the start of filming, Chris Diamantopoulos, Ashley Romans, and Katja Herbers were added to the cast as well.[3]
Filming was in progress in August 2022,[8] shooting primarily on the Warner Bros. lot or in a remote desert location to maintain secrecy.[9]
