Overview
- The series premiered on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with the first episodes released on Saturday 23 May and new instalments scheduled weekly on Saturday nights.
- Two Weeks in August follows a group of university friends whose reunion holiday spirals into danger after an illicit kiss, and the show avoids revealing major plot twists in its marketing.
- Production was filmed across Malta and Gozo as a stand-in for Greece, using a composite villa near southern Malta cliffs and locations such as Ghar Lapsi, Mġarr ix-Xini and Dwejra Cliffs.
- Jessica Raine leads an ensemble cast that includes Damien Molony, Antonia Thomas, Nicholas Pinnock, Leila Farzad and Hugh Skinner, with Tom George directing episodes 1–4 and Matthew Moore 5–8.
- Creator Shepherd drew on a real Corfu memory and worked with a psychologist during development to shape characters and themes of class, mental health and interpersonal strain, and early audience reaction has been mixed with some complaints about muffled sound.
