The show was written by Lawrence Taylor, with Emma Dennis-Edwards, Yemi Oyefuwa and Ryan Calais Cameron also attached. Directing the series are Ethosheia Hylton (Sanditon) and Sarmad Masud (Bulletproof).

Executive producers are Daniel Lawrence Taylor, and Madeleine Sinclair and Susan Hogg for Studio Lambert, and Nawfal Faizullah and Ayela Butt for the BBC.
