The series, which was filmed in Prague, allowed him to sit on his couch and successfully direct it. Carpenter will even compose the theme song for the show. Other directors involved in the series include Jordan Roberts, who also serves as the showrunner, as well as Michelle Latimer and Jan Pavlacky.
