Development and production

On April 15, 2014, TV Land placed a cast-contingent pilot order on Impastor, with Christopher Vane attached to pen the script and executive produce alongside Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum via The Tannenbaum Company and CBS Television Studios.[2]

Casting announcements began in June 2014, with Michael Rosenbaum first to be cast, in the role of Buddy Dobbs, the gambling, pot-smoking protagonist.[3] Sara Rue was the next actor cast in the series regular role of Dora, a gossip and the assistant to the pastor.[4] Shortly afterwards, Mircea Monroe and Aimee Garcia were cast in the series, with Monroe cast in the role of Alexa Cummings, the gorgeous treasurer, that finds herself attracted to Buddy. Garcia was tapped to play the role of LeeAnne, Buddy's bartender ex-girlfriend, that he left behind.[5] David Rasche then joined the series as Alden Schmidt, the church president who is suspicious of Buddy.[6] Mike Kosinski was the last actor cast in the series regular role of Russell Kerry, the young secretary who's excited about the arrival of a gay pastor.[1]

On October 1, 2014, TV Land placed a 10-episode series order on Impastor, set to premiere in 2015.[1]
