The series premiered March 19, 2013 on Writer's Express as a Forum Lab Project (a trial run). The series was later announced as cancelled a day later, with Caller stating that their: "interest vested in the project was not enough to justify its continuance." However, the decision was later reversed, following a string of rave reviews after the pilot's posting. Caller has recently announced that a revamped version of the show will begin Christmas 2013.
