In 2022 they started writing. Production was supposed to start in 2023 but was delayed because of the labor disputes, so it didn't start until January 2024. That's as much as I care to look up.
Re: Wayward I watched the first episode and am kind of intrigued but thought it felt kinda cheesy. Like the acting and dialogue was "off" My sister is singing its praises, so I'm probably going to stick with it, but I wasn't super sold after the pilot.
Just watched the fiest two episodes. I liked it. Plus I'm pretty sure the girl working at the bookstore was wearing a Chat Pile shirt so I'm all in.
