Snapping up this show demonstrates our commitment to bringing our customers the best US drama series from one of the hottest US studios. We are thrilled to be in partnership with A24 and Peacock on this project.”

Michael Lennox (Say Nothing, Derry Girls), directing duo Celine Held and Logan George (Topside, Caddo Lake) and Quyen Tran (Sirens, The Pitt) will direct multiple episodes. Lennox will also serve as executive producer.
