Chatting about concluding filming, Ewan McGregor told Variety: "We finished shooting our series, and it was really, really good fun – I really enjoyed working with [director] Deborah Chow. I think it will not disappoint. I think it's gonna be good. I had a really good time making it, and worked with some really wonderful people, lovely people. The new technology we employed doing it is cool, and it was a different experience than making the original three films that I did."
