The series is written by Phoebe Eclair-Powell (The Road Trip, Harm), who also executive produces, in her first drama series commission for television. Fergus O'Brien (Happy Valley, The Tourist) directs the first four episodes and Ellie Heydon (Outrageous, Trying) the last two. Stella Merz (Miss Austen, Gentleman Jack) produces.
The series (6x45') was commissioned by Robert Schildhouse, Jon Farrar and Stephen Nye on behalf of BritBox. Katie Draper, Laura Lankester, Louise Mutter and Juliette Howell from Lookout Point, Phoebe Eclair-Powell, along with James Prichard from Agatha Christie Limited, also executive produce.
BBC Studios will handle global sales.
