The new run is six episodes. Filming took place in Malta. Harry and Jack Williams wrote the series and serve as executive producers, the senior roles that steer the story and the production. Terry McDonough directed episodes 1 to 3. Sarah O'Gorman directed episodes 4 to 6.
Two Brothers Pictures produced the show for Prime Video UK and Ireland, ZDF in Germany and Stan in Australia, in association with Banijay Rights. Deadline That three-way backing is how many British dramas are now built. Each broadcaster takes its own territory and shares the cost.
