Production and airing
Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Darren Star Productions and Gail Katz Productions, the series received a thirteen-episode order on May 11, 2007. It was initially slated to debut on November 27, 2007, as a mid-season replacement for the Dancing with the Stars results show. The 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike caused only 7 of the 13 ordered episodes to be produced, and ABC delayed the premiere due to programming and promotional concerns.
Cashmere Mafia had a special preview on Sunday, January 6, 2008, then moved to its regular Wednesday 10:00PM Eastern/9:00PM Central time slot on January 9, replacing Dirty Sexy Money and following Supernanny. It competed indirectly with NBC's Lipstick Jungle, created by Candace Bushnell. The series was purchased by broadcasters in Poland, Malaysia, Singapore, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Croatia, Portugal, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Finland, India, Serbia, Denmark, Cuba, France, Russia, and Italy.
