THE NEVER GAME is produced by Twentieth Television. In addition to Hartley, Ken Olin and Ben H. Winters are executive producing for Twentieth Television. Olin directed the pilot from a script written by Winters. Robin Weigert, Abby McEnany, Eric Graise, Fiona Rene, and Academy Award Winner Mary McDonnell also star.
