In February 1997, it was announced ABC had ordered a pilot from Steven Bochco called Total Security which would follow a team of private security specialists. ^[3] The following month, it was announced Jim Belushi and James Remar would be starring as the leads for the series. ^[4] Belushi opted for Private Security after his dissatisfaction with the creative direction of a sitcom project for ABC from Chuck Lorre titled It's Good To Be King, that would've featured him as a Chicago bar owner. ^[4]
