Premise

Described as a "Gothic family drama in which wealth, power and religion collide—with outrageously soapy results", the series centers on a mega-rich Southern family who made their money with a Christian television network, and whose sudden passing of its founder in a plane crash brings out three more family members (who he had written in his will due to having affairs with different women), who will inherit the empire for their own reasons.[5]

Development

On December 19, 2018, it was announced that Fox had given the production a pilot order and was written by Tate Taylor, who also serves as executive producer. Production companies involved with the pilot include Imagine Television, Wyolah Films, Fox Entertainment, and the Disney-owned 20th Century Fox Television.[18] On May 9, 2019, it was announced that the production had been given a series order.[19] The series was originally supposed to start airing in the fall of 2019.[3] Becuse of scheduling conflicts for executive producer Tate Taylor, the series was pushed back to spring 2020.[2] However it was moved to its fall schedule for 2020–21 television season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

In February 2019, it was announced that Kim Cattrall had been cast in the lead role for the pilot,[20] then others including Aubrey Dollar, Benjamin Levy Aguilar, Corey Cott and Mark L. Young had joined the pilot.[21] It was then announced in March 2019 that Gerald McRaney had joined the cast.[22] Alongside the pilot's order announcement, in March 2019 it was reported that Steve Harris, Melia Kreiling, David Denman and Olivia Macklin had joined the cast.[23][24] On May 11, 2019, it was reported that Denman, who was originally cast to play the male lead opposite Cattrall in the series, had exited and his role would be recast.[25] On September 13, 2019, Aaron Lazar was cast as Reverend Paul Luke Thomas, replacing both Denman and Steven Pasquale.[26]
