The show was co-created by Mark V.... Olsen and Will Scheffer, who also served as executive producers. Olsen and Scheffer spent almost three years researching the premise of the show, with the intent of creating a fair portrayal of polygamy in America without being judgmental.

The musical score for the series was composed by Anton Sanko.
