Production Details of In Plain Sight
The premiere of In Plain Sight was originally scheduled for Thursday, April 24, 2008, but the USA Network canceled the series after a WGA strike postponed the summer release of Burn Notice. Instead, they debuted on Sunday, June 1, 2008. It started on April 19, 2009, and was renewed on July 21, 2008, for the second season of 16 episodes. Then, after creative differences with executive producer David Maples, USA Network decided to use episode 15 of the season as the first part of the season in two parts.
The creator of the series David Maples and the co-creator Paul Stupin gave up at the end of the second season but remained consultant producers, replaced by John McNamara. Todd Williams and Leslie Ann Warren have been reformed as guest stars, and the reworked script is designed to focus more on Mary’s business and less on her personal life, allowing the story to focus on the characters. According to American director Jeff Wachtel, the producer’s switch shows that the network wants the show to be fun and not too dark.
