The Rising is the first full in-house production for Sky Studios.[7] Principal photography began in May 2021 in the north of England, with filming locations that included the Lake District and the areas surrounding Manchester. The eight episodes were split into four filming blocks, with each two episodes helmed by different directors. Filming wrapped up in October 2021, and post-production continued into early 2022, with final picture and sound work being completed in London.[8]

In Cumbria, a hologram of the protagonist, Neve, was projected onto Derwentwater the day before the series was released. The figure mouthed "come and find me" to passers-by, who were surprised to stumble upon the projection on their morning walk.[8]

Writing for Fiction Horizon, Nelson Acosta gave the show a mostly positive review, praising Clara Rugaard's acting, as well as the cinematography. He also commented that it lacked humour and dynamism.[9] At The Upcoming, Andrew Murray also complimented newcomer Rugaard and wrote positively about the show's plotlines and hooks. He critiqued its focus on teen drama, however.[10]
