The cast boasts an impressive ensemble, including Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jason Flemyng, Harry Lloyd, Ali Suliman, Fra Fee, and Joseph Mydell. Their performances promise to bring depth and intrigue to the high-octane narrative. Directed by Brady Hood, known for his work on Top Boy and Great Expectations, all eight episodes are infused with his signature visual style and storytelling finesse.
Executive producers include Ed Rubin for New Regency, alongside Beth Pattinson, Emma Broughton, Yariv Milchan, Arnon Milchan, and Michael Schaefer.

The series showcases the collaborative vision of a team dedicated to creating a thriller that is as cerebral as it is suspenseful.
