Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Darren Star Productions and Gail Katz Productions, the series was officially greenlit and given a thirteen-episode order on May 11, 2007.[2] The series was initially scheduled to air as a mid-season replacement,[3] with plans for a debut on November 27, 2007 on ABC as an off-season replacement for the Dancing with the Stars results show.[4] However, due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, only 7 of the 13 episodes ordered were produced. ABC also delayed the premiere of the series due to future concerns about programming and promotions. Cashmere Mafia had a special preview on Sunday, January 6, 2008 and then moved to its regular time slot on Wednesday, January 9 at 10:00PM Eastern/9:00PM Central following Supernanny as a mid-season replacement for Dirty Sexy Money.[5] It competed indirectly with NBC's Lipstick Jungle, created by Star's former creative partner from Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell.
