About Series:
On June 7, 2018, YouTube Red announced the development of a series created by John Griffin, part of an overall deal between Midnight Radio and the Russo brothers’ AGBO. By April 2021, the series was moved to Epix after YouTube Premium shifted focus to unscripted programming. The project was ordered for ten episodes, with Jack Bender directing the first four.
Filming for the first season began in the last week of May 2021 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, primarily around Beaver Bank and Sackville River in Lower Sackville.
On April 24, 2022, Epix ordered a second season, which premiered on April 23, 2023. MGM+ ordered a third season on June 29, 2023, set to premiere on September 22, 2024.
The series premiered in the U.S. on Epix on February 20, 2022. It is distributed by Stan in Australia, broadcast on Sky Sci-Fi in the UK, available for streaming on Paramount+ in Canada, and on Amazon Prime Video in India. In the Middle East and North Africa, it can be streamed on OSN+.
