The series was originally set to premiere on July 19, 2016 but was postponed a week to July 26, due to the July 7 Dallas shootings. Following the Baton Rouge police officer shootings on July 17, the series was pulled from USA's summer schedule entirely. On October 3, 2016, USA announced a new premiere date for Shooter, which premiered on November 15, 2016.

On July 6, 2016, while filming a scene at Agua Dulce Airpark, actor Tom Sizemore accidentally ran over a stuntman.
