Production and publication

BBC Three first announced the series in January 2015, which was filmed in Bristol in the summer of 2015 .

With writer Marnie Dickens, producer Elizabeth Kilgarriff and directors Vanessa Caswill and China Moo-Young, the series was developed by a women's team that maintains a feminine perspective on the victim. Dickens, who is less interested in the imprisonment than in what happens afterwards, has deliberately not put the perpetrator in the foreground in order not to take this away from the victim. The actress who played the kidnap victim, Jodie Comer , researched real abduction cases for the role to understand the effects of isolation. She received and read a book about Natascha Kampusch from Vanessa Caswill .
