The cast also includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Guillaume Gallienne, Andrea Riseborough, Martha Plimpton, Hugh Grant, Danny Webb, David Bamber, Henry Goodman, Stanley Townsend, Louie Mynett, Rory Keenan, Karl Markovics and Pippa Haywood.
The series is directed by Stephen Frears (High Fidelity, The Queen) and Jessica Hobbs (The Crown, Broadchurch), and it was written by Will Tracy (The Menu), who is also the executive producer and showrunner.
