The show is inspired by the real-life story of Hidle Lysiak, the young journalist who stumbles across a crime scene and scoops the town paper on a murder investigation. Lysiak’s story took place in a small town in Pennslyvania, but the show was shot in Vancouver.

For the interiors, Coates transformed a converted warehouse into the Lykso family home. The inspiration for the design came from looking at Victorian homes with a hallway down the middle and rooms off to the side. The interiors were also designed for blocking to allow fluid movement throughout the house.
