He will be joined by Ben Kingsley reprising his role as Trevor Slattery, Demetrius Grosse as Simon’s brother Eric Williams / Grim Reaper, Ed Harris as Simon’s agent Neal Saroyan, and Arian Moayed as Department of Damage Control agent P. Cleary.

Cretton directed the first two episodes, while Stella Meghie, James Ponsoldt, and Tiffany Johnson also directed other episodes. Production began in April 2023 in Los Angeles but was briefly halted due to the Writers Guild of America strike. Filming resumed in early 2024 and wrapped by April.
