Production

Development

In September 2020, it was announced that Starz had ordered a spin-off series of Blindspotting by Carlos López Estrada, with Jasmine Cephas Jones set to star and produce, with Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal serving as executive producers and writers on the series.[6] Production companies involved with the series were slated to consist of Lionsgate Television, Snoot Entertainment, and Barnyard Projects.[7] In December 2020, Benjamin Earl Turner, Atticus Woodward, Jaylen Barron, Candace Nicholas-Lippman and Helen Hunt joined the cast in starring roles, with Rafael Casal and Justin Chu Cary set to appear in recurring capacity.[8][9]

Principal photography for the series began in December 2020.[9][10] Production for the first season took place in March 2021 in West Oakland, Oakland, California.[11]

Diggs does not reprise his film role as Collin in the first season beyond a voice cameo in the finale, despite co-creating the show. Casal hoped to include Collin during the planning stages but Diggs wished for the season to focus on Ashley, though he ultimately came to regret not making an appearance. Diggs and Casal have both expressed interest in bringing back Collin for a potential second season.[12]

On October 14, 2021, Starz renewed the series for a second season.[2] On April 14, 2022, LeVar Burton, Katlynn Simone Smith, Tamera Tomakili, and Tim Chantarangsu were cast in recurring roles while E-40, P-Lo and Too $hort are set to guest star for the second season.[5] Production for the series' sophomore season wrapped on April 28, 2022.[13]

It was announced on January 11, 2023 that STARZ is set to premiere a number of episodes of their sophomore season at the 2023 SXSW Festival held in Austin, Texas in March under the TV Spotlight category.[14]

On September 25, 2023, Starz canceled the series after two seasons.[4]

Music

Blindspotting creators Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs had recruited fellow schoolmate Ambrose Akinmusire and Blindspotting (film) composer Michael Yezerski to compose the score for the television series. Akinmusire and Yezerski have created score to accompany Spoken Word, Verse, Dance, and various other types of scenes demonstrated throughout the series. In a Variety article between the two musicians, they describe the experience as "a very rare opportunity for the score to just become the driving language of a piece of dramatic television content."[15]
