The first trailer debuted on 6 December 2021, and the series premiered on 22 April 2022.[6] In the United States, the series premiered on 29 May 2023 on the CW.[7]

Production

[edit]

Deadline Hollywood reported that Sky Studios was developing a series based on Hotel Beau Séjour in October 2019.[8] The show was announced in April 2021 and is the first full in-house production for Sky Studios, written by Pete McTighe, Charlotte Wolf, Roanne Bardsley, Gemma Hurley, and Laura Grace. Ed Lilly served as lead director, with McTighe, Serena Thompson, and Julian Stevens executive producing, while Lilly and Wolf also served as associate producers.[9]

Principal photography began in May 2021 in the north of England, with filming locations that included the Lake District and areas surrounding Manchester. The eight episodes were split into four filming blocks, with each two episodes helmed by different directors. Filming ended in October 2021, and post-production continued into early 2022, with final picture and sound work being completed in London.[10]

McTighe stated in May 2022 that he had plans for a second season,[11] to be titled Risen. Sky Studios however cancelled production in March 2023, two months before it was scheduled to start.[12]

Marketing

[edit]

In Cumbria, a hologram of the protagonist, Neve, was projected onto Derwentwater the day before the series was released. The figure mouthed "come and find me" to passers-by, who were surprised to stumble upon the projection on their morning walk.[10]

Reception

[edit]

Writing for Fiction Horizon, Nelson Acosta gave the show a mostly positive review, praising Clara Rugaard's acting, as well as the cinematography. He also commented that it lacked humour and dynamism.[13] At The Upcoming, Andrew Murray also complimented newcomer Rugaard and wrote positively about the show's plotlines and hooks. He criticised its focus on teen drama, however.[14]
