Secret Agent Man was originally scheduled to premiere on UPN in September 1999, but was pushed back to a midseason premiere in August 2000 due to the desire to give the show's producers more time to work on props and special effects. It also did not have a traditional one-hour pilot filmed, and was instead ordered to series by UPN on the strength of just a presentation reel.^[1] Only 12 episodes were produced and broadcast before the series was cancelled due to poor ratings.

The series used an updated version of the 1960s hit, “Secret Agent Man”, performed bySupreme Beings of Leisure, for itstheme song. Because theJohnny Rivers version of this song was used as the theme song for American broadcasts of another television series, the 1960s British TV series,Danger Man (primarily broadcast in the U.S. asSecret Agent), there were some mistaken impressions that this series was somehow aspin off orremake of the earlier program, but other than the theme song, no connections were made evident.
