Production
Creator William Spetz was inspired to write the series after facing rejection on another project and feeling "creatively heartbroken."[2]
The series was both set and shot in Stockholm, with principal photography beginning in December 2022.[3] Spetz, despite having grown up in Umeå, knew of the Patricia nightclub in Stockholm and was inspired to set Tore's first foray into LGBT spaces there.[4]
