Emily Bett Rikards was originally cast as Jenna, then called Jenni, but was later replaced by Kate Mara, with the character's name changed to Jenna.

Production
After the announcement of the SPN, Film Gate said they were working to produce in-house launch titles if the pitch went ahead. LA!LA! were later confirmed for co-development, and began doing the same thing. The Network was the first pitch brought forward to Film Gate after the announcement. Believing it had potential, Film Gate ordered a series treatment. In late October, Film Gate gave the series a full season order of eight episodes.

Release
The series has a tentative release date of summer 2015.
