Overview

  • The five-part political thriller premiered on Netflix on August 21 and is led by Suranne Jones, who also serves as an executive producer.
  • Coverage focuses on the finale’s resolution of the show’s central crisis without disclosing key twists or character outcomes.
  • Series creator Matt Charman said he would like to continue the narrative in potential future installments that examine psychological consequences rather than replicate the initial setup.
  • Despite that interest, the show was billed as a limited series and there has been no announcement of a renewal.
  • Interviews and features emphasize themes of political leadership, national security, and public trust that drive the season’s drama.
