The project was based on a pilot script developed by Danler and Stu Zicherman, written by Danler, and produced by Plan B Entertainment. Starz ordered additional scripts and assembled a small writers room with an eye toward a potential straight-to-series order. Starz president and CEO [[Chris Albrecht]] said at the time, "It’s a book that several of the women at Starz had read and were excited about.

Various types of food and drinks were available and designed thematically to match. For ''Sweetbitter'', Sugarfina handed out a selection of alcohol-inspired sweets, including martini almond olives and champagne gummy bears. Additionally, a series of six artisanal cocktails were also available, designed by Austin-based bartender ~~Tracy~~Tacy Rowland. One such cocktail based on ''Sweetbitter'' included the "Autumn in New York", featuring cognac, sherry, coffee, bitter lemon and a rosemary garnish. Other services contained in the sensory house included mini manicures that were offered by the Austin-based Nails Y’all, and a perfume bar Roux Saint James, which created four custom scents inspired by ''Sweetbitter’s'' four main characters. The Starz Sensory House was located at 88 Rainey Street in Austin and operated until March 12.<ref>{{cite web\|last1=Long\|first1=Christian\|title=Starz Introduces ~~‘Vida’~~'Vida' and ~~‘Sweetbitter’~~'Sweetbitter' to SXSW With Sensory House Experience\|url=https://variety.com/2018/scene/events/sweetbitter-vida-starz-sxsw-1202723467/\|website=Variety\|accessdate=March 12, 2018\|date=March 11, 2018\|archive-date=March 11, 2018\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180311085430/http://variety.com/2018/scene/events/sweetbitter-vida-starz-sxsw-1202723467/\|url-status=live}}</ref> ===Premiere=== On April 26, 2018, the series held its world premiere at the [[SVA Theatre]] in [[New York City]], [[New York (state)\|New York]] during the annual [[Tribeca Film Festival]].
