It was announced on March 8, 2022, that a television series adaptation of the BBC One series, The Driver, was in development, with Giancarlo Esposito starring as Vince.[1] On June 23, 2022, it was announced that Paula Malcomson had joined the cast as Ros.[6] In July, it was announced that Arica Himmel, Ivan Mbakop, Zackary Momo and Dax Rey had joined the cast as Michaela, Zenzo, the Horse and Luke, respectively.[8][5] In August, it was announced that Bonnie Mbuli and Skeet Ulrich had joined the cast as Shamiso Tongai and Colin, respectively.[9][7] In September 2022, it was announced that Bradley Whitford had joined the cast as Anton. The same article confirmed that the name of Esposito's protagonist had changed from Vince to Gracian "Gray" Parish.[10]

The series is created by Danny Brocklehurst, Sunu Gonera and Theo Travers and is executive produced by Brocklehurst, Esposito, Gonera and Travers, alongside Josh Kesselman, David Morrissey and Danny Sherman. Filming began in early August of 2022 in New Orleans.[7] That same month the title for the series was announced to be Parish.[11] In October 2022, it was reported that Gonera was removed from the series following an internal investigation against him.[12][13] On November 13, 2023, Deadline.com debuted the series teaser trailer and "first look" photos; the accompanying article identified Executive Producers Eduardo Javier Canto and Ryan Maldonado as the new series showrunners.[14]

On October 17, 2024, the series was cancelled after one season.[3]
