“Their fateful meeting leads to a partnership that changes them both forever,” per the official synopsis, with the series following the pair and “the disruption their rapidly rising career has on both their lives and the lives of those closest to them.” Wood penned the pilot script himself, with Rina Mimoun (Mistresses), who worked with Benoist on The Girls on the Bus, serving as showrunner.

Benoist starred as Kara/Supergirl for six seasons on The CW’s Supergirl, with Wood — whom Benoist married in 2019 — joining the cast in Season 2 as Mon-El. Both actors have musical backgrounds as well: Benoist first broke out as a cast member on Fox’s Glee, and Wood starred in Almost Famous on Broadway.
