Production

John Masius created the program and served as executive producer for the first season. Glen Mazzara also served as executive producer for the first season. The program was initially going to be called Time Heals.[3] Megan Branman and Dylann Brander of Branman/Brander Casting were involved in casting for the program. In September 2008, Jamie Tarses was reported to be an executive producer on the program.[4]

In September 2008, The Press of Atlantic City reported that Jada Pinkett Smith signed on as both the star of the television pilot, and to serve as executive producer of the program.[3] Pinkett Smith had previously promised never to work in television again, but changed her mind after reading the script of the pilot.[5] She recalled getting the script from her manager: "He said, 'I would never send this to you if I didn't think it was fantastic.' I read it and then I let my husband read it. (Will) said to take the meeting and see."[5] She decided to return to television because of the show's unique qualities.[5]

In the pilot, Jeffrey Nordling portrayed Dr. Tom Wakefield, director of medicine.[6] In February 2009, Michael Vartan was cast to co-star alongside Pinkett Smith as Dr. Tom Wakefield in the series.[6] By June 6, 2009, the program's title had been changed to Hawthorne.[7]
