A.V. Club notes the adaptation enters a crowded landscape of public-domain IP adaptations, observing it's easier to get series greenlit with recognizable IP names. Jason Tracey, one of the showrunners, previously executive produced all seven seasons of Elementary, a gender-bent Sherlock Holmes police procedural.
“it seems far easier to get something greenlit in the current media ecosystem if it has some tie to IP. We imagine it's even easier if that IP entered the public domain within the past few years.”
