Co-creators Coben and Robert Hull (God Friended Me, Quantum Leap) will executive-produce, with the latter serving as showrunner. Additional EPs include Bryan Wynbrandt (Quantum Leap), Steven Lilien (Quantum Leap) and John Weber.
Worthington is perhaps best known for his role in the Avatar movies. On the TV side, his credits include the FX limited series Under the Banner of Heaven and Discovery Channel's Manhunt: Unabomber.
