[edit] Development

In July 2007 Fox 2000 paid $1.75 million for the film rights to The Passage by Justin Cronin. In September 2009 John Logan was announced to be writing a screenplay with Ridley Scott attached to direct. In April 2011 Matt Reeves was announced as director. In June 2011 Jason Keller was hired to rewrite Logan's screenplay. The producers decided that the project would work better as a television series and in November 2016 Fox gave a pilot production commitment. Reeves said that the book was "not adaptable as a movie". In January 2017 Fox ordered the pilot. In August 2017 Fox Entertainment president David Madden told Deadline that there would be potential re-shoots to the pilot. In February 2018 it was revealed that there would be re-shoots of the pilot, to take place in March in Atlanta. In May 2018 Fox ordered the pilot to series.

[edit] Casting

In June 2017 Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Saniyya Sidney, Genesis Rodriguez, Brianne Howey, B. J. Britt and Jennifer Ferrin were announced to have been cast in the pilot. On 8 February 2018 it was announced that the characters played by Rodriguez, Britt and Ferrin would be written out of the show and that three new characters, Tim Fanning, Nichole Sykes and Lila Kyle, would be added. On 14 February Jamie McShane was cast as Fanning while Caroline Chikezie was cast as Sykes. The next day Emmanuelle Chriqui was cast as Kyle.
