Taped in the middle of 2010, it was picked up as a mid-season replacement by Fox in September 2010, under the name "Untitled Jamie Foxx Project". A premiere was announced for June 9, 2011, and then moved to August. It debuted in an hour-long premiere on August 14, 2011, with four half-hour episodes to air on following weeks. The show was cancelled due to low ratings after airing six episodes.
Although episode one was viewable on Dailymotion, and episodes two, three, and six had portions posted on YouTube, most of the series was lost until January 2024, when a Lost Media Wiki user found and posted the show.{{cite web | title=In the Flow with Affion Crockett | website=Lost Media Wiki | date=2024-01-06 | url=https://forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/13669/flow-affion-crockett | access-date=2024-12-26}}
