The show was announced in May 2009, to be executive produced by Scott Peters, Jace Hall, Steve Pearlman, and Jeffrey Bell. Filming of the post-pilot episodes started on August 10, 2009. Cast member Elizabeth Mitchell noted that the series would do service to the most iconic moments from the innovative franchise.

Entertainment Weekly put the innovative V on its 2008 list "The Sci-Fi 25: The Genre's Best Since 1982" and called Visitor leader Diana's devouring of a guinea pig "one of the best TV reveals ever." Asked about the 1983 reveal of the Visitors' reptilian look beneath their human disguise, Peters noted "That was the other one, of course... We tried to put our own [spin on it]. We're... a little bit dissimilar than their execution of it. It wasn't so much latex mask as it is real flesh and blood." The Hollywood Reporter called the idea behind V "a powerhouse concept that combines conflict, suspense and imagination with some heavy-duty philosophical concerns," noting that the update "preserves the original framework but shifts the atmosphere to accommodate modern concerns... the militaristic notes will be more subdued. Instead, there will be extra of a post-9/11 stress on questions of faith and terror."

In September 2009, it was announced that four episodes of V would air in November 2009, and that the series would resume its 12-episode season in March 2010 after the 2010 Winter Olympics. ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson said, "We always planned to break the show up into 'pods' to make it more of an occasion." As production of the fourth episode of V wrapped, it was announced on November 3, 2009 that Scott Rosenbaum had been named executive producer and showrunner of the series, with Peters and Hall remaining as executive producers. Production of the remaining eight episodes resumed in January 2010 with new episodes returning March 30, 2010.
