It’s wonderful to be continuing our collaboration with them.”
The creators of the first season, Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, known for their sharp wit and innovative storytelling, return for the series renewal. The dark-comedy show is co-produced by Prime Video along with Amazon MGM Studios, Guesswork Television, OK Great Productions, Screen Queensland and Screen Territory.
