We recorded a live, moderated panel with our cast – Shanola Hampton (Anna Rossi), Spencer Garrett (Porter Purvis), Jack Coleman (Dan Carrington), and Autumn Reeser (Olivia Huff) – as well as the crew – J S Mayank, David Carlyle, and Jeremy Gordon. Our esteemed moderator, Stacey Wilson Hunt, gets to the heart of the idea, how our story came together, and what it was like for this cast to work together (or not?) So check out this behind-the-scenes look at our series, brought to you almost live from the Microsoft Lounge at LA Live in Los Angeles.
