Nighy plays a character known only as The Director in the action-adventure comedy series that follows a secret assassin, Judith (Waddingham), and her relationship with her best friend Debbie (Spencer) after a hit goes wrong.
"He is the director of my character’s agency," Waddingham said of Nighy's character. "He is the lord high executioner of all, and just reigns with a delicate, elegant level of fear. There really wasn't anyone else who could have played this role. His economy of movement on screen is so compelling, and he just had all of us eating out of the palm of his hand."
"But then I realised she wanted me and she wanted Hannah, and she got both of us, so you know why not dream big to get Bill, and thank God he said yes too."
