The five-part 1850s-set series based on the novel by Ian McGuire is set amid a whaling expedition in the Arctic. "Set in Hull and on the ice floes of the Arctic in the late 1850s, the series’ location work took place primarily in the Arctic, shooting on the frozen seas north of the Svalbard Archipelago," per Variety. "The cast and production team sailed as far as 81 degrees north to film sequences in the pack ice, one of the furthest points north a drama series has ever filmed before."
