The series was partly filmed at Ludlow Castle in Shropshire.
According to reports, the second season was reportedly 75% completed when Noel Fielding failed to return to set in January 2025. The series was deemed unsalvageable and was then canceled.[7] According to Fielding’s agent, his absence from the set was due to illness.[8] Actors scheduled to appear in the second season included Jason Isaacs, Miranda Richardson, and Dawn French. Fielding has not since revealed the source of the health issue, and it has not interfered with his work on other series.[9]
