Carolyn Strauss likewise serves as an executive producer with Hoffman and Henry Bronchtein as co-executive producers. No specific episode order was given. Production is set to begin this fall at Santa Anita Park, where the pilot was shot.

The pact will keep the writer/producer at the helm of the franchise for the foreseeable future, where he'll also develop new series projects.
