Originally titled THE BAD STANLEYS, the project is written by Klein and centers on "a working mom who is in constant competition with her perfect, stay-at-home sister-in-law."

The plot started out as a story of two brothers before a rewrite.

Klein has also produced Kath & Kim and Friends, and has written for both those series, in addition to Becker and Jesse.

Kaplan worked with Klein on Friends with Better Lives and has The Mysteries of Laura, Chasing Life, Instant Mom, The Neighbors, Back in the Game, The Inbetweeners, GCB and Terra Nova among his other producing credits.
