Production
In January of 2010, CBS ordered production of a pilot written by Tom Spezialy.

The casting announcements began in mid-February 2010, with Freddy Rodriguez being the first actor cast. Next to come on board were James Murray and Tim Blake Nelson.

Eric Close joined the show's cast in early March, followed by Carmen Ejogo. Finally, Stephen Rea completed the main cast in mid-March.

The pilot was filmed in Los Angeles, California. In late July, CBS announced that it had officially ordered 13 episodes of "CHAOS" for a mid-season start.

Kurtwood Smith joined the cast in November 2010, replacing Rea in the role of Director H.J. Higgins.

Starting in mid-December 2010, the show's film crews were spotted and the actors photographed at various set locations around Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at the Vancouver Rowing Club, in Gastown, on the rooftop of The Bay, at the Terminal City Iron Works, and at mansions in the Shaughnessy and Point Grey neighborhoods (with these locations standing in for exotic locales around the world).

Cancellation
On April 15, 2011, "CHAOS" was placed on hiatus after three episodes due to low ratings.

After the show was removed from CBS's schedule on April 19, 2011, filming on the remaining episodes continued in and around Vancouver until the originally scheduled completion date of May 2, 2011.

The remaining episodes aired during the summer from June 4 to July 16, 2011.
