"When Chris Long, who directed and showran, brought this to me as a potential for me to be in this, I watched False Flag then and I instantly loved it," Nayyar said. "And I really, really have been a big fan of Chris Long because he did The Americans for FX, which I was a big fan of, so it all came to sort of fruition that way."
Speaking of his co-star, Doctor Who's Mandeep Gill, Nayyar said: "She's not only an incredible actor, she's also just an incredible person. And every time we had a scene together, when she was going to be on set, everyone got really excited because she just is the kind of person who lights up every room that she's in."
