- Patrick Radden Keefe is reported to serve as an executive producer on the series, with the Brettler family said to be involved.
- Deadline reported that the Piers Wenger and Rose Garnett–led unit won the rights after a contest, reflecting A24 UK’s recent buildout with hires such as Heartstopper executive producer Patrick Walters.
