Production

In August 2023, it was announced that Netflix had commissioned a four-part series written by Jack Thorne and based on the 2009 Corby poisonings and the subsequent environmental court case, dubbed in some quarters as "the British Erin Brockovich".[1] Thorne said that Toxic Town would focus on "these funny, brave, incredible women and the way they scrapped for their children".[2] The series is produced by Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones' production company Broke & Bones with Minkie Spiro as director and Amy Trigg as co-writer of the third episode.[3]

Casting

In August 2023, Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, Robert Carlyle, Rory Kinnear, Toby Eden and Brendan Coyle were confirmed in the cast.[4] Claudia Jessie, Joe Dempsie, and Michael Socha joined the cast in September.[5] In December 2023, Lauren Lyle joined the cast.[6]

Filming

The production began under an Equity union contract so fell outside the 2023 actors' strike.[7] Principal photography on the project started in September 2023.[8] Filming took place in Breightmet, in Bolton that month.[9] Filming also took place in Stockport, Holmfirth,[10] Liverpool,[11] and Manchester.[12]

Broadcast

The series is expected to be broadcast on Netflix in 2025.[13][14]
