Originally developed in 2018 from an idea from Frankie MacLaughlin, Frank Contreras, Dorina Amina, Del Alan Murphy, and Elizabeth Conway. The writers developed the plot after a discussion of major pet peeves, pyramid schemes, and heists.
The creators came up with the name "Terri Craig" for the villain unanimously in 2018.
Elizabeth Conway decided to add a dance scene while jogging and listening to the soundtrack from "Pulp Fiction." While writing "Monster (In My Bedroom)," she was inspired by "Disturbia" by Rihanna, "Hallucinate" by Dua Lipa, "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga, and "Orinoco Flow" by Enya. Aremih-C produced the beat.
