Cast

Production

In April 2021, Disney+ had commissioned a series of multiple British produced television series, including Culprits, which was set to be written and directed by J Blakeson.[3] In August, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett would be cast in the lead role.[4]

Production on the series began in February 2021, with additions to the cast including Gemma Arterton, Eddie Izzard and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.[5]

Filming of the series took place in both Europe and Ontario, with Canadian locations including Cambridge, Ontario[6] which has become a hot spot in southwestern Ontario for location.

UK filming took place in a house on Hickin street designed by Vandana Goyal from Studio 9 Architects, London

Further filming took place in Manchester, United Kingdom on Dale Street and Paton Street and in a park off of Paradise Street in Rotherhithe, London during March 2022.

On 23 March 2022, the production company (Character 7) cordoned off Little Lever Street and Bradley’s Court in Northern Quarter, Manchester, with the assistance of Greater Manchester Police. Local residents and members of the public were able to see filming from the street and the surrounding apartment blocks. The scene being filmed featured a S.W.A.T team shooting at a fleeing car.

Character 7 had placed notices around the surrounding areas some weeks prior notifying residents that there would be loud gun fire and a screeching car. On the day of filming, a production fire engine sprayed the roads so that it would appear that it had been raining during the scene.
