Production

The project was announced by HBO in July 2022 with Will Tracy serving as showrunner, with Stephen Frears directing and Kate Winslet, Frank Rich and Tracey Seaward acting as executive producers. The writing team includes Seth Reiss, Juli Weiner, Jen Spyra, Gary Shteyngart, and Sarah DeLappe.[2] The miniseries could mark Winslet's fourth lead role in an HBO drama series after Mildred Pierce, Mare of Easttown and potentially also the upcoming drama Trust based on the Hernan Díaz novel of the same name.[3] In April 2023, the title of the project was official revealed to have changed away from the working title The Palace, to The Regime.[4]

A first look image released in February 2023 showed Winslet filming on set in Austria, with principal photography also due to take place in the United Kingdom.[11] Principal photography in Austria reportedly started in January 2023 at the Gartenpalais Liechtenstein (Liechtenstein Garden Palace), part of the Liechtenstein Museum, on the Fürstengasse, in the 9th district of Vienna.[12]
