Sky Vision distributed the first series worldwide, but the distribution rights for the second series were picked up by Sky's sister company NBCUniversal. In the U.S., the series was picked up by Starz, where the series has been available on Starz on Demand since 6 September 2018. It was released on Starz Cinema on 11 May 2019.
The series stars Lennie James as Nelson "Nelly" Rowe, a down-and-out whose life is turned upside down when Jody, the estranged daughter he fathered thirteen years ago, mysteriously disappears. Suranne Jones stars as Claire McGory, Jody's mother. Aside from James and Jones, Stephen Graham and Jason Flemyng are also credited as principal members of the cast.
The series was green-lit in January 2017, under the original working title of Gone. James reunited with World Productions for the series, with whom he previously worked on the first series of Line of Duty.
Following strong critical reception for the first series, James confirmed that a second had been commissioned. A DVD of the first series was released via Acorn Media on 7 May 2018.
