Development and production
TBS placed a pilot order for Ground Floor on February 21, 2013. The series was created by Bill Lawrence and Greg Malins, with Lawrence serving as executive producer alongside Jeff Astrof and Jeff Ingold, and the production companies Warner Bros. Television and Doozer.
Casting announcements began in February 2013, with John C. McGinley first cast as Mr. Mansfield, the boss. Skylar Astin and Briga Heelan then joined the cast in the two lead roles, with Astin playing Brody, a Harvard graduate and money manager who falls for Heelan's Jennifer, an intelligent maintenance worker. The next actors cast in the series were Rene Gube and James Earl, with Gube cast in the role of Threepeat, a money manager; and Earl playing the role of Derrick, a laid-back guy who works with Jennifer on the ground floor. Rory Scovel then joined the series as Harvard, a classic know-it-all who harbors an oft demonstrated crush on his ground-floor co-worker Jennifer. Alexis Knapp was the last actor cast in the series as Tori, a sexy co-worker of Jennifer's who hits the clubs at night and catches up on her sleep at work. Knapp and Astin have previously worked together in the comedy Pitch Perfect.
