The concept of a film adaptation for the BBC series was first broached in August 2013, when series creator Neil Cross revealed he had written a script for a prequel to the series.[1]

In July 2020, Idris Elba stated that there was no "formal plans" for another series of the show, but expressed his desire to return to the role in a film, and that this was close to happening.[2] The film would officially be confirmed in September 2021, with it to debut on Netflix, and Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis would be starring alongside Elba.[3]

Elba announced on 10 November 2021 that filming had begun.[4][5] Filming took place in London.[6][7]
