Production edit
Before July 2016 edit
The idea came to mind from a Hangouts producer Joslyn Zittle who thought of the idea of her American show would be 'an awesome hit' to start expanding the show worldwide. Hangouts cast member Jade Ramsey said in an Instagram post she liked the idea of her friend's and eventually said there are talks with American producers 2 weeks later on a possible series. On 24th August 2015, the spin-off was greenlighted by CBN and they confirmed it was entering cast auditions and was in the works with the first half of the season 1 script written already. The following day, the BBC said they would be airing the American show one day after an each new episode airs in America. It was confirmed the series would consist of 6 episodes. News went quiet for a while until the 4th November 2015, where it was confirmed the shooting location would be in LA; though there were rumours beforehand when seeing multiple film crew at the scenes. One week before the show's premiere, María Pedraza was confirmed to play Valentina Bloom, after leaving hit Spanish netflix show Elite. The rest of the cast was announced in the premiere episode to 'excite' all their new coming fans.
2016 to present edit
The show was almost immediately renewed for a second season at CBN and in the UK for the BBC. Filming began in September 2016 for a 'summery second season'. The season would be earlier than the first season's original air date and would air in April 2017. Two further seasons, 3 and 4, were commissioned a week after season 2 ended.
The fifth season was greenlit 1 month later in September 2019. Filming began in November 2019. Due to a huge storm throughout LA, filming was postponed 5 days after filming commenced. On day 4, Margot Robbie was filming a scene in rainy conditions and where the wind was slowly getting stronger and more rapid. The filming crew said to film two more scenes after Robbie's and they would postponed rest of production until the storm had mostly passed. However, during her scene, an enormous tropical tree branch fell just behind Robbie, seconds away from what could have been fatal. She was shaken by the event as filming equipment was lost or damaged when the winds got worse and the situation turned into an emergency evacuation. 1 week later, filming resumed. The show wrapped up production at the end of January 2020, 2 months before the COVID-19 pandemic.
