## Production

[edit]

It was announced in June 2022 that Apple TV+ had ordered the series, which Billy Crystal would star in and Barry Levinson would direct.[6] In December 2023, Judith Light joined the cast, with Adam Bernstein now set to direct the pilot episode, as Levinson had to exit the project.[7] In January 2024, Rosie Perez, Jacobi Jupe, Maria Dizzia, Ava Lalezarzadeh would be added to the main cast, with Hope Davis joining in a recurring capacity.[8][9]

Filming had begun on the series under the name Winston in New Jersey by May 2023.[10] In June, it was announced it had entered an indefinite hiatus amidst the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[11] Upon the strike's conclusion, the series resumed filming in December in Moonachie, New Jersey.[12] It filmed in Hoboken, New Jersey, in January 2024,[13] and later in Independence Township, New Jersey in March.[14]
