Sean Lambert (The Larry Sanders Show, Grounded for Life) directs. In a statement, Hunt said of creating the series, “We felt there was a need for a great female ensemble comedy. Right now, you can only watch reruns of shows like Golden Girls and Designing Women to enjoy a female-driven show. Our thinking was to embrace the legacy of these programs while adding a modern twist.”
