Production

Development

On May 11, 2018, ABC canceled the series after two seasons due to a high turnover of showrunners and declining ratings.[8][9] Shortly after, eOne announced they were in "active discussions" with other networks to revive the show, including Netflix, which streams the series internationally.[10] On September 5, 2018, it was confirmed that Netflix had picked up the series for a third season of 10 episodes, to be released in 2019. Neal Baer will serve as the series showrunner, the fifth person to do so.[11] On April 24, 2019, it was announced that the third season is set to premiere on Netflix on June 7, 2019.[12]

The first two seasons were produced by ABC Studios, The Mark Gordon Company, and eOne,[11] with filming in Toronto, Ontario.[13] For the third season, ABC Studios will not be involved, with eOne (which had fully acquired the Mark Gordon Company) being the sole production company for the series.[11]

Casting

After the third season renewal announcement, the producers confirmed that Kiefer Sutherland, Adan Canto, Italia Ricci, Kal Penn and Maggie Q would return as series regulars.[1] On October 18, 2018, casting of Anthony Edwards, Julie White and Elena Tovar in the recurring roles of Mars Harper, Lorraine Zimmer and Isabel Pardo respectively were announced.[2][3][14] On November 15, 2018, Lauren Holly and Benjamin Watson were cast in recurring roles as Lynn Harper and Dontae Evans, respectively.[4]

Filming

Filming for the third season started in October 2018 and ended in February 2019.[15]
