Sam Shaw serves as showrunner and executive produces alongside Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Kaitlin Dahill for Chernin Entertainment, as well as Eric Roth, Logevall, Lila Byock, Anya Epstein, Dustin Thomason, director Thomas Vinterberg, and Anna O’Malley. Production on the eight episode first season is currently underway in London.
