The show was based on a comic book by James D. Hundall and Andrew Paquette. When the creators noticed the credits read "Created by Chris Carter", they sued Fox to get properly credited, and now the credits also read “Inspired by the Harsh Realm comic book series, Created by James D. Hudnall and Andrew Paquette, Published by Harris Publications, Inc.”

This show was a very promising adventure series, but it was saddled with an unfortunate timeslot, which is the kiss of death for any new TV show.
