"A fractured family at the heart of politics and power is pulled together under catastrophic circumstances."[3]
BBC Studios produced the series, which was Richard Gere's first TV role since appearing in Kojak in 1976. Promoting the upcoming project, Gere said, "It’s been almost 30 years since I worked in television. I'm so pleased to be working now with the BBC on this extraordinary eight-hour project with such talented people and which resonates so much to the time we live in". He seemed less enamoured of the project after filming, telling the UK's Radio Times magazine, "It was six months’ shooting, like doing four indie movies back to back but playing the same character. It’s too long. I don’t think I’ll do it again." Directed by James Kent, filming took place in summer 2018 in London and on location in Spain.[4] [5]
The series premiere was on BBC Two in March and April 2019. It will be distributed internationally by BBC Studios.
