Co-producers are Tweedie Waititi, Graham Tipene, Lucean Lunare and Melissa Nickerson.  Returning cast includes: Elz Carrad, Āwhina Rose Henare Ashby, Ramon Te Wake, Aroha Rawson, Renee Lyons, Renée Sheridan and new cast members include: Cohen Holloway and Liam Coleman recasting the roles of Gerald and Jem respectively. 

The series has been created with support from NZ on Air and Sky Originals NZ.
