Development

A remake of Polseres vermelles, known in English as The Red Band Society, was originally developed for ABC in 2011 by Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman, but the network chose to not move forward after first production stages.[3] In November 2013, Fox announced a new project to bring an adaptation of the Catalan television show in the United States held by Warm Springs and Boardwalk Empire writer Margaret Nagle.[3] On January 17, 2014, the project received a pilot order, plus additional backup scripts.[3]

On May 6, 2014, Fox picked up the pilot with a series order for the 2014–15 season.[2]
