Sprung is executive produced by Greg Garcia, Garret Dillahunt, Michael Rotenberg, and Jonathan Berry in association with 3 Arts. Tim Stack, Michael Pennie, and Bobby Bowman are consulting producers, and Gina Gari is co-producer. Garcia also directs all 9 episodes in the series.

Sprung follows Jack (Dillahunt), a convicted criminal who is determined to turn his life around after serving more than two decades in prison. When he is unexpectedly released due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he quickly realizes he has no place to live. Jack shelters-in-place with former cellmate Rooster (Garcia), Rooster’s mom (Plimpton), and Jack’s former prison girlfriend Gloria (Barrera). Their marred pasts and unusual living circumstances create a bond between them all, and they decide to start righting some of society’s wrongs that arise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their first target is Melvin (Earl), an opportunist who alters his con based on supply and demand who has sparked a relationship with Wiggles (Gillies), Rooster’s ex-girlfriend. Meanwhile, Congresswoman Paula Tackleberry (Kate Walsh) is telling the public there’s nothing to worry about, whilst using inside information to sell millions in stock.
