Filming took place in northern France from February 2018 and ended in July 2018. The first episode was released on December 30, 2018 on BBC One . The series, which was written by Andrew Davies and directed by Tom Shankland , aired weekly, so the last of the six episodes was first released on February 3, 2019.
