In 2019, Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg teamed up again as writers and executive producers for Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist on NBC. Career Harberts and Berg's first staff writing job was on the ninth season of Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1998. When 90210 finished after its tenth season they were offered a producing role on Roswell which was then starting its second season. At the end of Roswell'''s production they started work on Wonderfalls where they met Bryan Fuller who would later hire them to work on Pushing Daisies and Star Trek: Discovery.

But at the time they were just starting work on Roswell so were unavailable for further rewrites and other writers took over.
