On June 6, 2018, it was announced that Apple had given the production a straight-to-series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes. The pilot episode was written and directed by Jessie Nelson, who would also executive produce alongside Sara Bareilles, J. J. Abrams, and Ben Stephenson. Along with Nelson, other directors for the series include Cherien Dabis, Bart Freundlich, Christopher Storer, and Emma Westenberg.[7] Nelson was also expected to act as the series' showrunner, and Bareilles wrote original songs for the series. Production companies involved with the series include Warner Bros. Television and Bad Robot Productions.[5][8][9][10] On August 4, 2021, Apple canceled the series after one season.[4]

At the same time, it was announced that Samrat Chakrabarti, Gopal Divan, Sakina Jaffrey, and Emma Hong would also be joining the cast.[7] On May 21, 2020, it was announced that Kevin Valdez, Phillip Johnson Richardson, and Chuck Cooper would also star in the series.[11]

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Little Voice holds a 77% approval rating based on 30 reviews, with an average rating of 5.88/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Little Voice's earnest tune is a little too familiar, but a winsome cast led by Brittany O'Grady and catchy music from Sara Bareilles make for a breezy summer binge."[13] Metacritic gave the series a weighted average score of 60 out of 100 based on 18 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[14]

Carolyn Siede of The A.V. Club gave the first season a B− for some good and uplifting performances but a scattered performance by Brittany O'Grady and excessive storylines.[15]
