Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Archie Panjabi and Navin Chowdhry previously played siblings in 2002's 'Bend It Like Beckham'—their reunion here is deliberately unrecognizable.
Creator Paul Rutman developed this after researching real cases of British-Pakistani families torn apart by counterterror investigations, where relatives often learned of suspicions through media leaks rather than authorities.
