Filming

Receiving support from Screen Yorkshire and Production Intelligence, filming began in August 2021 and wrapped in November. Markéta Korinkova designed the sets for the series.

Principal photography took place across Yorkshire at locations such as the former post office on Lendal in York, Duncombe Park, Dewsbury Town Hall, South Parade, Wakefield, Dalton Mills, Hull Old Town, Kingston upon Hull, Temple Newsam, Versa Studios in Leeds, York Mansion House, Bramham Park and Sledmere House.

Reception

The series received positive reviews. Karina Adelgaard of Womentainment opined that despite having LGBTQ characters dying – known as the "bury your gays" trope – the "unapologetic" love story, paired with staying true to the time period, makes it work.
