Speaking to the Guardian about her role, Hayley commented on her character's persona, noting the empowerment she feels as a result of her career choice. "There's such a life about her. She's noisy, even in her darkest moments […] I think she does feel empowered and I think there are a lot of women who do, too."
Jolene's younger co-star, Amy, who has a difficult first day on the job, is played by Vanity Fair and Temple actress Siena Kelly. Rupert Everett takes on the part of Jolene's boss Carroll Quinn, an industry executive and producer. Other cast members include After Life star Kerry Godliman, Joe Dempsie and Julian Ovenden.
