Production

Development

It has been reported that Steve McQueen began working on the idea for Small Axe in 2010, and that some form of the series was in development since 2012. [8] [9] While the series was initially conceived as a conventional television series with a serialized story, McQueen realized during development that he had sufficient material to make several distinct films. [9] In January 2014, it was announced that he would write and direct an untitled television series for either BBC One or BBC Two about the experience of black people in Britain. [10] In August 2015, it was announced that the series would air on BBC One. [11] In June 2019, Amazon Prime Video was announced to be distributing the series in the United States, with Amazon Studios co-producing. [12] The screenwriters include the British-Caribbean novelist Courttia Newland (author of The Gospel According to Cane, 2013) and Alastair Siddons. [9]

Casting

In June 2019, it was announced that Letitia Wright, John Boyega, Malachi Kirby, Shaun Parkes, Rochenda Sandall, Alex Jennings, and Jack Lowden had joined the cast of the series. [13] In January 2020, Micheal Ward joined the cast of the series. [14]

Release

Lovers Rock had its world premiere as the opener of the 58th New York Film Festival on 17 September 2020. [15] [16] [17] Mangrove had its world premiere at the festival on 25 September, [18] [19] and Red, White, and Blue on 3 October. [20] Mangrove also opened the 64th BFI London Film Festival on 7 October 2020; [21] Lovers Rock screened at the same festival on 18 October. [22] [23]

The series premiered in the UK on BBC One on 15 November 2020 and in the United States on Amazon Prime Video on 20 November 2020, with one episode released per week on both platforms. [4] [24]

The series received a Blu-Ray release by The Criterion Collection on 25 April 2023. The release includes the five films, plus interviews and conversations with director Steve McQueen and cast/crew members, the 2021 documentary Uprising (codirected by McQueen and James Rogan), trailers, and an essay by Ashley Clark.
