Director Kyle Coffman met Creator/Actor Trystan Colburn when Coffman cast Colburn in his short film "Groomsday". The two hit it off right away and started developing "Guys Like You" a few months after wrapping production on "Groomsday". Colburn wrote the series in a few weeks.
Many LGBTQ+ crew members were a part of this project.
The hook up app in the series, Dkstr, first appears in Kyle Coffman's written novel, "Falling for Theo". Trystan Colburn read the first draft of the novel and thought it'd be great to use the name in "Guys Like You" with Coffman's full blessing.
Many of the crew members previously attended CSUN film school with Kyle Coffman.
