Trivia about Devs

FX skipped the pilot episode and went straight to an eight-episode order, announced in August 2018 during the Television Critics Association press tour.

Most of the music is by Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow, who had previously worked with Alex Garland on Ex Machina and Annihilation.

Filming began before August 2018, and the first scenes were shot at UC Santa Cruz.

According to TV Time, from Whip Media, Devs was the second most anticipated new series of March 2020.

In January 2021, it was reported that Devs was one of the most-watched series on FX on Hulu, second only to A Teacher.

Garland explained that the idea came from his reading about science and determinism, and suggested that a computer powerful enough could predict the future.

Cailee Spaeny landed the role of Lyndon about thirty minutes after auditioning, as he explained in an interview published during the show's broadcast.

Alex Garland gave the cast all the scripts several months before filming began, a decision that allowed the characters and their scenes to be prepared in advance.
