Debra Hayward, Alison Carpenter, and Jill Forbes also executive produce. It is a co-production with TeamAkers. Pat Tookey-Dickson is series producer, with Giulia Gandini leading director on the series.[3][4][2]

Suranne Jones leads the cast alongside Jodie Whittaker. The cast was expanded in 2025 to include Talisa Garcia, Karan Gil, Elizabeth Berrington, Lee Boardman, and Christian Cooke, amongst others.[5] Filming began in Spain in January 2025.[6]

Reception

The London Evening Standard gave the series 4 out 5 stars, praising the pace, writing, and performances.[9]

Writing in The Guardian, Lucy Mangan gives the series 5 out of 5 stars, describing the series as "a fantastically stylish, emotionally rich and profoundly intelligent piece of entertainment that is feminist to its bones without preaching and in every way a triumph".[10]

Craig Mathieson, writing in The Sydney Morning Herald gave the series 4 stars out of 5. He praises its depth, saying that it is more than a conventional heist movie: "the threads that are being woven into something new here have a broader provenance. Think David Mamet’s House of Games, not just the Ocean’s movies... There’s a psychological layer also at work, rife with abandonment issues and latent anger".[2]
