Production
The series was first ordered by Netflix in January 2016, fifteen years after showrunner Laeta Kalogridis had originally optioned the novel with the original intent of making a feature film.[3] According to Kalogridis, the complex nature of the novel and its R-rated material meant that it was a tough sell for studios before Netflix ordered the series.[3] Miguel Sapochnik directed the pilot episode.[3][4]
