Overview
- Prime Video appointed Anna Ouyang Moench as showrunner, writer, and executive producer, marking the first concrete step since the series paused production in September 2025.
- Moench takes over from co-creator Francesca Sloane, who exited after securing an overall deal at HBO, with Sloane and Donald Glover remaining as executive producers.
- Sources say some Season 2 scripts are already in hand, and Moench brings recent credits on Severance and Beef.
- Mark Eydelshteyn and Sophie Thatcher have been reported as attached for the lead roles, though Prime Video has not officially confirmed casting and availability could affect plans.
- Producers are weighing a new start date as the production targets a Los Angeles relocation supported by a $22.4 million California tax credit that expires roughly 18 months after March 2025.
