- Turner stated her version of Croft will not be a “sex bombshell”, instead focusing on her unashamedly capable and resourceful nature.
- The series, which will serve as an origin story for the British archaeologist, is created and executive produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by Jonathan Van Tulleken.
- The cast also includes Sigourney Weaver as Evelyn Wallis, Celia Imrie as Francine, and Jason Isaacs as Croft's uncle, Atlas DeMornay.
