Earlier, Flynn revealed that she started working on the project almost seven years ago, sharing how she adapted it from the U.K. version.
''My idea was to not only Americanize it — and deal with things that are resonant to Americans in a lot of ways — but to also make things gritty and dirty and nasty in a very realistic way,''she said. ''Whereas [Dennis Kelly, the U.K. show’s writer] took his cue from the graphic novels themselves, I took my cue more from the ’70s paranoia thrillers that I love.''
The eight-episode series got lukewarm reviews despite being based on the epidemic and was released at the same time when the entire world is facing COVID-19 pandemic.
