Filming took place over 18 weeks, starting in London in February 2024, with additional locations in Paros, Greece, before wrapping in July 2024.

The series marks Jack Whitehall's first lead role in a dramatic production, having previously been known mainly for comedy work.

The show holds a 48% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 21 critic reviews, with critics saying it 'only manages to strand its audience at sea'.

Despite the mixed critical consensus, Lucy Mangan of The Guardian praised the series, comparing it to 'The White Lotus meets The Talented Mr Ripley' and commending Whitehall's performance.

Malice is a co-production between Expectation Entertainment and Tailspin Films for Amazon Prime Video, created, written and executive produced by James Wood.
