- Damon Lindelof, Cuse’s co-showrunner for Lost, was hired to co-write the upcoming Rey-centered Star Wars film back in 2023, but was later let go. He was set to pen the script with Justin Britt-Gibson.
- The pair was replaced by Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders, who eventually left the project before being replaced by George Nolfi.
- Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is set to direct that project.
- After Lost, Cuse went on to create Bates Motel and the FX drama The Strain among others.
- This marks the first project between the father-son duo.
