Immigrant is executive produced by Siegel, Nanjiani, Dylan Sellers, Konner, Bahrani and Emily V. Gordon as well as Rajiv Joseph and Mehar Sethi, who also write on the series. Siegel and Konner serve as co-showrunners. Jacqui Rivera is co-executive producer and Annie Wyman is co-producer. 20th Television serves as the studio on the series.

Konner is executive producer/co-showrunner on the upcoming Freeform dramedy series Single Drunk Female. Via her Jenni Konner Productions she also executive produces The Bobby Love Story, a one-hour drama in the works at FX starring and executive produced by Octavia Spencer and exec produced by Kerry Washington. Previously, Konner and her former longtime producing partner Lena Dunham worked together on all six seasons of HBO’s Girls. The two also developed and executive produced comedy series Camping, starring Jennifer Garner, at HBO. Konner is repped by CAA.
