Alongside Lorre, The Big Bang Theory's David Goetsch and Maria Ferrari are also onboard as writers.
While the show has been praised for breaking representation barriers on network TV, with actors of Afghan descent as well as writers who are Afghan and veterans, the recently released trailer for the show came under fire, with much of the criticism focused on the fact that Kalyan is not Afghan but plays one in the show.
Executive producer Reza Aslan has nevertheless urged viewers to "speak from facts, not feelings" and wait until they see the show before coming to an opinion.
