Development

On October 17, 2013, Fox announced that it had dropped the pilot stage for Hieroglyph and would straight away commit to a 13-episode season.[12] The first episode was shot in Morocco in early 2014.[13] The series was expected to continue filming in March 2014 in New Mexico at the Albuquerque Studios.[14] Kevin Reilly for Fox Entertainment has stated that "We wanted to do a show about deceit, sex, intrigue in the court and fantastical goings on – no better place to set that than ancient Egypt."

Fox canceled the series in June 2014, saying the series was not coming together the way executives had hoped.[4]
