Development and production

In July 2020, HBO ordered Somebody Somewhere to series which is inspired by the life of Bridget Everett who plays the lead role and is also an executive producer.[3] In June 2021, the cast was announced, which included Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Danny McCarthy, Mike Hagerty (in his final acting role before his death in May 2022), Murray Hill, Jon Hudson Odom, and Heidi Johanningmeier.[2] In February 2022, HBO renewed the series for a second season.[4]

The series was filmed in suburban Chicago, primarily in Lockport and Warrenville. The creators chose Chicago as a filming location because of the talent pool available; Hannah Bos said, "We cast a lot of roles out of Chicago, and the talent pool was insane. It was exciting to have so many choices for so many roles. I'm biased because I love the Chicago style of acting — which I feel is very grounded, very real, very nuanced — and we had many wonderful actors to draw on to fill our world in."[1]
