Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Creator Tate Taylor (The Help) pitched this as 'Dynasty meets televangelism,' directly inspired by real scandals like Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart. The show aired on Fox but was canceled after one season during COVID-19 production shutdowns.
Kim Cattrall was the ONLY cast member who didn't audition—Taylor wrote Margaret specifically for her after working together on The Help. She reportedly insisted on doing her own stunts in the hurricane finale.
