Development

The pilot screenplay was written by Alex Garland who was also expected to direct and executive produce the episode as well. On July 23, 2018, Rob Hardy mentioned in an interview that he would serve as the cinematographer for the series.

On August 3, 2018, it was announced the during the Television Critics Association's annual summer press tour that FX had decided to bypass the pilot process and instead were giving the production a straight-to-series order consisting of eight episodes set to premiere in 2019. Additional executive producers were reported to include Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, Eli Bush, and Scott Rudin. However, FX decided that they would push the series back to its 2020 premiere, allowing them to have more time on their production and filming.

Following Disney's acquisition of Fox Entertainment, Devs was moved to Hulu, following the announcement of the "FX on Hulu" initiative created by Disney in November 2019. Devs will be the first FX-produced show to launch on the streaming service.
