Development and production
TBS gave the green light to a pilot for Ground Floor on February 21, 2013. Bill Lawrence and Greg Malins created the series, with Lawrence executive producing alongside Jeff Astrof and Jeff Ingold. Warner Bros. Television and Doozer handled production. Casting kicked off in February 2013, starting with John C. McGinley as boss Mr. Mansfield. Skylar Astin and Briga Heelan then landed the lead roles: Astin played Brody, a Harvard-educated money manager, while Heelan portrayed Jennifer, a sharp maintenance worker he falls for. Rene Gube signed on as Threepeat, another money manager, and James Earl took the part of Derrick, a relaxed guy working with Jennifer on the ground floor. Rory Scovel joined as "Harvard," a self-proclaimed know-it-all with an obvious crush on Jennifer. Alexis Knapp was the last actor cast, playing Tori in season one, a nightlife-loving co-worker of Jennifer's who sleeps on the job. Knapp and Astin had previously appeared together in the film Pitch Perfect. On May 10, 2013, TBS ordered the series to air, and it premiered on November 14, 2013. A second season was ordered on March 6, 2014, premiering December 9, 2014, with ten episodes. The show was canceled on February 13, 2015.
