Creator Sharon Horgan was not only interested in the intricacies of the couple parting ways, but also the industry of lawyers, authors, mediators and counselors that deals with divorce.
The show was originally about a Missouri-based couple going through a divorce. The wife was a successful TV-host and the husband a chef who quit his career in order to focus on the marriage.
Despite many offers, this is Sarah Jessica Parker's first foray into starring a television show since Sex and the City (1998). Just like that show, this is also an HBO production and Parker herself also serves as a producer.
Costume designer Arjun Bhasin only buys second-hand outfits for the series' costumes, scoured from flea markets, Etsy and eBay.
As a producer, Sarah Jessica Parker spent four years developing the series, before the show aired in October 2016.
