Production
Development
In October 2019, Disney+ ordered a ten episode hour-long dramedy based on the original idea by Brad Garrett who pitched the idea to David E. Kelley and developed it along with Dean Lorey.[8] The trio along with Bill D'Elia were to executive produce with ABC Signature. Lorey was to write the script and D'Elia to direct the first episode.[9]
Filming
Big Shot began in November 2019. In March 2020, production was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] Production for the series also shut down for a day in November after a positive COVID-19 test that later resulted in being a false positive, and for the rest of 2020 in December.[11] Filming is set to resume in January 2021 in Los Angeles.
