The series is produced by Frances Haut et Court TV (The Returned) and the UKs Warp Films (This is England) and directed by the acclaimed Johan Renck (Bloodline, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead as well as videos by Madonna, New Order, Beyonc and Lana Del Rey) and was filmed in Marseille, Belgrade, Montenegro and London.
