Also Christopher Backus had been cast, but left the project to be on the series "Roadies" before the series started shooting.
Season two, which consists of 10 episodes, was produced by a new production company, Six 2 North Productions Inc. Kimberly Peirce and Colin Bucksey are directors, with George Perkins the executive producer.
