Production

Clean Sweep was named as a project that would receive public funding in November 2021. Created by Gary Tieche based on a true story, Shinawil was originally going to make the six-part thriller with Element 8 Entertainment before Incendo boarded the project instead.[2] Fran Harris was attached to write the series with Tieche, with Ronan Burke and Yves Christian Fournier directing. Executive producers included Tieche, Larry Bass, Mary Callery, Jin Ishimoto, Patty Lenahan Ishimoto, and Harvey Myman for Shinawil; Shannon Cooper for SundanceNow; and Graham Ludlow, Jean-Philippe Normandeau and Shari Segal for Incendo.

In July 2022, it was revealed Charlene McKenna would lead the series alongside Barry Ward.[3]

Principal photography was originally scheduled to take place in 2021, but was postponed. McKenna was spotted filming by the Dargle River in early July 2022.[4]
