Agents Nick Popovich (first three episodes), Ken Cage, Mike Kennedy, Kevin Lacey and Danny Thompson (from season one) appear in the show, along with Heather Sterzick, a former military air traffic controller (from season 2). Popovich claimed that later episodes are unrealistic. Beginning with Season 3, the episode intro states that events have been recaptured and some details have been changed.

Season 2 premiered on August 22, 2014. Season 3 premiered on July 15, 2015.
