Development and production

Mom was one of the many projects that quickly became a priority for CBS and Warner Bros when it was pitched in December 2012, in part due to Lorre's new four-year deal with Warner the previous September. It was greenlighted by CBS for a series order pick up on May 9, 2013. This pickup also gives Lorre the distinction of having 4 sitcoms airing on one network starting in the 2013"14 season. The following week, the network announced that it will place the sitcom in the Monday night 9:30 pm (ET/PT) timeslot following 2 Broke Girls.

Casting

The series gives Faris, who had guest starred in various television programs in-between her film projects and been sought-after for other television projects (including a failed pilot called Blue Skies that was being produced for NBC), her first full-time television role, as she landed the part of the lead character, Christy, in January 2013. On January 28, 2013, Janney was next to come aboard the project, playing Christy's mother. Matt Jones and Spencer Daniels were added to the cast in February 2013, with Jones playing Christy's ex-husband, Baxter, and Daniels taking the role of Luke, the boyfriend of Christy's daughter, Violet.
