Development

On February 11, 2020 CBC, along with NBCUniversal International Studios announced that it had given the series, then titled "Lady Dicks" a series order. It was also revealed that Tassie Cameron and Sherry White would act as co-showrunners with David Wellington would direct the first episode.[6] The launch of production was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada; during the summer, further, the racial protests associated with the deaths of George Floyd in the United States and Regis Korchinski-Paquet in Canada led Cameron and White to rewrite some of their scripts.[3]

On February 11, 2020 it was announced that the series would star Meredith MacNeill and Adrienne C. Moore.[6] On September 8, 2020 CBC announced that Karen Robinson, Tara Strong, Dean McDermott, Al Mukadam, Percy Hynes White, Katie Douglas, and Ronnie Rowe would be joining the cast.[7]

Filming
