- The show is described as centering on Det. Jay Gatsby and Det. Nicole “Nicky” Carraway, a gender-swapped narrator who is a decorated New York State Police detective with aspirations to write.
- Jake Coburn and Jason Tracey are attached as writer-executive producers with Universal Television producing, and both bring recent procedural and crime-TV credits.
