In May 2013, NBC placed a serial order for the project. Wilkas then got out and was replaced by David Fynn . Since Heelan had leading roles in the two pilots Undateable and Ground Floor and both projects went into series, she had to leave the sitcom. Her role was taken over by Megan Park . But in September of the same year, the producers announced that Heelan could play in both series due to different shooting schedules. So it came about that she was able to resume her role as Nicki in a supporting role and thus replaced Park.

Despite poor audience ratings, the television station NBC extended the series on July 31, 2014 by a second season, which consists of ten episodes. For the second season Bridgit Mendler was hired as a female lead. A double episode live was shown in May 2015 with a number of guest stars including Ed Sheeran , Zach Braff , Donald Faison , Kate Walsh , Minnie Driver and Victoria Justice .
