Filming
In May 2013, NBC placed a series order for Undateable.[22] After the series was ordered, Wilkas left and was replaced with David Fynn in the role of Brett.[23] When both Undateable and Ground Floor, which stars Heelan, were picked up as series, Megan Park was cast to replace Heelan in the Nicki role.[24] However, by September of that year, the producers were able to arrange the schedules of the two shows so that Heelan could appear on Undateable as Nicki on a recurring basis, and she replaced Park.[25]
In March 2014, Lawrence, Morin, Glassman, Funches, and D'Elia launched an 8-city comedy tour to promote the show.[26][27][28]
On May 5, 2015, the show was presented live in a one-hour episode that featured numerous guest stars.[11] Based on the reception to that episode, NBC made the decision to feature all live episodes for Season 3, with each episode featuring a musical guest.[8] Starting with season 3, Undateable aired two feeds, one from the East Coast and one from the West Coast, both of which were available online after the show aired on its linear broadcast.[29][30]
On November 13, 2015, 30 minutes before air time, a decision was made to pre-empt the then-upcoming live program due to the November 2015 Paris attacks.[31] The next week, during the November 20 live episode, references were made about the attack.[32]
