The series aims to be a voice for queer voices still fighting to be seen, funded, and taken seriously, per the mission statement. The cast and crew are largely made up of female and queer talent. The series will feature Eddie Liu (Never Have I Ever on Netflix), Laura Schein (911 Lone Star), Megan Greener (The Murderer Killings podcast), Shira Gross (Me Time on Netflix), and more. It is directed by Kendall Payne with Bec Baehler as the director of photography.

Michelle encourages people to think of it as Sex and the City, if Carrie Bradshaw had been queer, anxiety-ridden, and living in Los Angeles.
