Channel 5 commissioned it's own in-house production team to make this 6 episode series based on an earlier documentary of the same name that was broadcast as part of Channel 5's Shock Docs documentary strand. The first two episodes were shown on Channel 5 in January 2017 but then broadcast of the series stopped without explanation. Broadcast of Series 1 recommenced in August/September 2017 but on Channel 5's sister station 5Star. This led to some listings providers incorrectly labelling the episodes broadcast on 5Star as being a new series.
