Development
According to Dolly Lewis, she mentioned that her casting in the show was due to having severe night blindness and detaching retinas in order to give a sense of realism over Tess slowly losing her eyesight.[8]
Release
The series was ordered to series by both CTV and The CW[3][9][10] and premiered on January 21, 2024, on CTV, as a special event following that day's NFL Divisional Playoff game.[1]
The show's focus on a visually-impaired woman received some attention as a significant advance for media representation of people with disabilities, as it premiered around the same time as One More Time, a Canadian comedy series (CBC Television) about a hearing-impaired retail manager.[11]
