It was created and written by Charlotte Jones. Left Bank Pictures is the production company of the series which is set in 1940 and focuses on a five-star hotel at the centre of London Society and a world at war. The series was first announced on 3 December 2015, before the official cast was announced on 4 April 2016, with Steven Mackintosh and Olivia Williams playing major roles. The series was cancelled after one series.[1] ProductionThe Halcyon was first announced on 3 December 2015.[2] It was commissioned by ITV's Director of Drama Steve November and Controller of Drama Victoria Fea.[2] The show was produced by Chris Croucher, created by Charlotte Jones, executive produced by Sharon Hughff, Jack Lothian and Andy Harries. The lead series writer is Jack Lothian.[3][5] Left Bank Pictures were the production company of the series.[4]The series focused on examining World War II London from 'a new perspective',[5] and was set in 1940 at a five-star hotel "at the centre of London Society and a world at war",[6] aiming to show London life "through the prism of war and the impact it has on families, politics, relationships and work across every social strata."[7] The first episode was broadcast on 2 January 2017,[8] and the series concluded on 20 February 2017.[9] Croucher called The Halcyon "a similar beast" to Downton Abbey, although Left Bank Pictures founder and managing director Marigo Kehoe explained that the show had been in development "for a long time", and the development of the show came at a time when "new ideas were needed".[4] Producer Chris Croucher added that "Downton has a serenity to it, but the modern world is arriving in The Halcyon", as well as revealing The Halcyon{{'}}s dialogue "is more punchy" and that the show "has more energy".[13] Radio Times wrote that The Halcyon has a "little bit of Downton Abbey and a little bit of Mr Selfridge in the mix".[8] A cover of the song "Marvellous Party" performed by UK soul singer Beverley Knight was released as part of the series' soundtrack.[10] CastThe cast consists of about twenty main characters.[11][4] The cast was officially announced on 4 April 2016, with the news that Olivia Williams and Steven Mackintosh would star in The Halcyon.[12][13] Williams commented on her character, stating that Lady Hamilton is "a trope, but wonderful to play" before adding that her character is also "an inherited aristocrat with a sharp wit who is racist, classist, homophobic...Everything you'd want her to be, to be truly hateful!".[14] Mackintosh revealed his character as "interesting",[14] and that "on first impressions, you might think the surface is all there is". Tointon said of her casting that "it's a lovely compliment".[14] She also stated The Halcyon cast will be a "sexier Downton".[15] Regular main cast
