The series was created by Beastly director Daniel Barnz and his teenage daughter Zelda Barnz and the Executive Producer is Girls star and creator, Lena Dunham.

Zelda has shared that the series idea came from her own coming out, when she told her adoptive same-sex parents that she was bisexual, later he brother also came out, making them a fully queer family.
