Simon Heath, CEO and creative director of World Productions, which has also been behind shows such as Line of Duty and Vigil, recently opened up about the drama when speaking at a Q&A, saying it was a "drama that needed to be seen".
"There was an awful lot more to this story. There were voices that hadn't been heard, there were stories that hadn't been told. There was a whole scale of investigation that had been overlooked, and it felt like it was a story that needed to be told and a drama that needed to be seen."

"It's a pretty unique collaboration between MGM, BBC, Netflix and us [World Productions], but it's needed that scale of production to bring it to the screen."
The series follows the story of the Scots-US investigation into the attack and the devastating effect it had on the small town and the families who lost loved ones.
