## Development and production
FX ordered a pilot for the drama in March 2025, with Olsen attached from the start and Milioti joining later that month. Will Arbery wrote the pilot and Sean Durkin directed it, a reunion between Durkin and Olsen, who starred in his debut film *[Martha Marcy May Marlene](https://www.edgepedia.org/martha-marcy-may-marlene)* (2011).[2](https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/2075136-seven-sisters-elizabeth-olsen-fx-pilot-series-order-hulu) • [1](https://www.thewrap.com/seven-sisters-fx-elizabeth-olsen-cristin-milioti-series-order-hulu/) Ryan Eggold was reported in April 2025 as rounding out the series regular cast of the pilot.[2](https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/2075136-seven-sisters-elizabeth-olsen-fx-pilot-series-order-hulu)
Hulu granted the series order on December 16, 2025, nine months after the pilot order. FX [Entertainment](https://www.edgepedia.org/entertainment) president Gina Balian said the network had been looking for a compelling family drama and described the show as living in the dynamics of adult siblings and their parents with an unexpected twist.[1](https://www.thewrap.com/seven-sisters-fx-elizabeth-olsen-cristin-milioti-series-order-hulu/) For Garrett Basch, whose company Dive has a first-look deal with FX, the series is his fifth for the network, following *Devs*, *Reservation Dogs*, *What We Do in the Shadows*, and *The Lowdown*.[2](https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/2075136-seven-sisters-elizabeth-olsen-fx-pilot-series-order-hulu)
[Principal photography](https://www.edgepedia.org/principal-photography) took place in mid-2025, but the sources disagree on where. Production List, published by the Film & Television Industry Alliance, records a June 2025 shoot in Los Angeles, California, and lists the series as in post-production as of April 28, 2026.[4](https://www.productionlist.com/production/seven-sisters) IMDb instead lists Vancouver, British Columbia, as the filming location, with filming dates of May 14 to June 2, 2025.[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36146086/locations/)
