Production
[edit]Development
[edit]In November 2018, the superhero drama series was initially based on Stan Lee's IP work titled The B-Team and is about a fight between B-rated superheroes and a mad scientist who created them. Lee's production company POW! Entertainment participated in the early stages of planning and development.[2] Later in 2024, as the full-scale production began, the series would be developed as an original by the production company without the original work. Regarding this, the production company Nangmancrew stated, "This is something that was agreed upon with the original author. The title would also be changed."[3]
In December 2020, SBS held the "2021 SBS Showcase" introducing their drama, entertainment, and educational lineup for 2021 through its official YouTube channel and announced that it would launch the drama The B-Team. PD Yoo In-sik, who directed Giant (2010), Dr. Romantic series (2016–2023), and Vagabond (2019), helmed the megaphone, screenwriter Kang Eun-kyung, who is best known for writing Bread, Love and Dreams (2010), Dr. Romantic series (2016–2023), and Gyeongseong Creature series (2023–2024), participated as the creator, and Heo Da-joong, who is one of the writers of Extreme Job (2019), penned the script. In addition, it was supposed to air on SBS TV in 2021.[4] Nangmancrew, Kakao Entertainment, and Fantagio would co-managed the production.[5]
Casting
[edit]Park Eun-bin and Cha Eun-woo were reportedly cast as the lead actors of the series in April and July 2024, respectively.[3][6] Park and Cha were officially confirmed to appear along with Kim Hee-sook, Choi Dae-hoon, Im Seong-jae, and Son Hyun-joo in November 2024.[7]
