Production
CBS placed a series order in May 2012.[1] The series was expected to premiere as a midseason entry during the 2012–13 television season.[2] However, on December 6, 2012, CBS revealed that its midseason schedule did not include the series.[3] The series would be the last project for co-creator Alan Kirschenbaum, who committed suicide on October 26, 2012.[4] Due to Kirschenbaum's suicide, the network has yet to decide the fate of the series.[5]
The fall 2013 season was released and "Friend Me" was not included on the lineup. It is currently unknown if or when the series will air.
