Overview
- The six-episode thriller launched on Oct. 8 and reached 17 million views within its first week, which Netflix says makes it the platform’s most-viewed Canadian-series debut.
- Netflix reported the series hit No. 1 on its English TV list in 53 countries and placed in the top 10 in 90 countries, giving it rapid global visibility.
- Production filmed on location across Newfoundland and Labrador over roughly 75 days, and Netflix says it hired more than 700 primary cast and crew while partnering with over 650 Canadian vendors.
- Creator Jesse McKeown set the story in his wife's native Newfoundland to center community and family, and the first episodes premiered at TIFF before the Netflix release.
- The strong debut is likely to raise Newfoundland’s profile as a production hub and could encourage streaming platforms to finance more regionally rooted projects, though the series is presented as a limited run and any renewal would be decided by Netflix.
