Jed will executive produce the series, alongside Madonna Baptiste, Debbie O’Malley and Diederick Santer on behalf of BritBox International.  

Payback will be directed by Jennie Darnell (Trigger Point, Line of Duty, Holby City) and Andrew Cumming (Clique, The Origin, Cold Feet) and produced by Eric Coulter (The Control Room, Shetland, Bodyguard).

​

The drama will be filmed in Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding areas.
