    Production

    Development

    [edit]

    In August 2018, it was announced that a TV series prequel based on the original film, written, executive produced and showrun by Michael Caleo, would be made after Anonymous Content and Paramount Television acquired the TV rights. Louis Mellis and David Scinto, the writers of the original film, were also executive producing.[4]

    Paramount Network ordered a 10-episode season in July 2019, with Keith Cox and Lauren Ruggiero executive producing for Paramount Network and Matt Manfredi, Phil Hay and Karyn Kusama coming on as executive producers, Kusama as director also, through their Familystyle company.[5]

    The series was scrapped a year later in July 2020 by Paramount Network, allegedly because of budget cuts after the CBS–Viacom merger but with plans in mind to shop the series to another place.[6] The series was eventually revived at Paramount+, with Train a Comin' Productions, Familystyle, Solas Mind, Anonymous Content, AC Chapter One and Paramount Television International Studios now producing instead of Paramount Television Studios.[7]

    Casting

    [edit]

    In August 2022, it was reported that James McArdle, Emun Elliott, Tamsin Greig, Stephen Moyer and Sarah Greene were all part of the main cast as Gal Dove, Don Logan, Cecilia, Teddy Bass and Deedee Harrison respectively. Eliza Bennett, Clea Martin, Nicholas Nunn, Peter Ferdinando, John Dagleish, Robbie Gee, Paul Kaye, Lex Shrapnel, Cally Lawrence, David Kennedy, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Ralph Brown, Nitin Ganatra and Alice Bailey Johnson were all also cast in additional roles.[8]

    Filming

    [edit]

    Set in 20th-century London, exterior filming has been in Liverpool.[9]

    Release

    [edit]

    On 4 December 2023, it was announced, together with first look photos, that the series would be released on 25 January 2024.[10]
