“The crazy thing is that the crew would just hang out there like WeWork people,” says co-creator Lee Eisenberg. “They would play pool and get in little desk combos, and it really did feel like, ‘Oh, of course you would never leave this office.’” Production designer Amy Williams admits that re-creating WeWork's headquarters was a daunting task. “Lee and (co-creator Drew Cavello) really liked it, but it meant we had to build a really big set on somewhat limited stage space,” Williams said. “We built it as big as could possibly fit into the studio, and it was a beast: three stories, a city block long. It was considered a building within a building and needed to have a sprinkler system and coded HVAC system installed, which made it feel more real.” Eisenberg says that the set was so inviting that the production of the series started to mirror the content.
