Development and production

In October 2009, Fox announced that it had given a script commitment to creator and writer Adam F. Goldberg for a new comedy. [6] A pilot commitment followed in January 2010, [7] and casting announcements began the following February. Bret Harrison was the first to be cast, with the series tentatively titled Titan Team. [8] In March, Alphonso McAuley joined the pilot, now titled Security. Odette Annable was the third to join a few weeks later, [9] and the cast was then completed with the additions of Christian Slater and Trevor Moore. [10] [11] [12]

In June 2010, Fox ordered two more scripts for the series, under the new title Breaking In, [13] [14] with the series officially picked up in November with a 7-episode order. [15] [16] Michael Rosenbaum made a cameo appearance in the pilot episode, but producers were "so pleased with the performance" that he was later added to the main cast. [5] Filming for the six remaining episodes began in Los Angeles in February 2011. [5]

On May 10, 2011, Fox canceled Breaking In along with four other series that had been "on the bubble". [17] [18] However, two days later, Deadline Hollywood reported that the network was in potential talks with Sony Pictures Television to have Breaking In return for a second season, [19] however the series was not included on Fox's 2011–12 schedule. [20] The following month, Fox picked up the options on the cast until November 15, making another season possible. [21]

In August 2011, news broke that Breaking In had been renewed for a second season to air as a midseason replacement in 2012. [22] About the renewal, Fox's entertainment president, Kevin Reilly, said in a statement: "We are looking forward to bringing it back for a second season and continuing our relationship with this incredibly talented cast and these fantastic creators—Adam Goldberg and Seth Gordon. We can't wait to see where they take these characters next year." [22] Afterward, it was confirmed that only Slater, Harrison and McCauley would return as regulars for the new season; Annable and Rosenbaum would only return for guest appearances. [23] In addition, Megan Mullally and Erin Richards were to join the cast. [23] [24]
