Obsession (2023)

Production Note - Limited Series

Obsession (2023) is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 4-episode run in April 2023. Produced by Moonage Pictures and Gaumont UK for Netflix, the production was designed as a contemporary reimagining of the 1991 novella Damage by Josephine Hart. The creative team focused on a highly compressed and intense filming schedule to capture the claustrophobic nature of the central affair. By utilizing a four-part structure, the production ensured that the narrative tension remained high without the need for the filler content often found in multi-season dramas.

The scale of the production was intentionally intimate, focusing on high-end London locations that reflected the status and eventual downfall of the protagonist. Because the story follows a specific literary arc that ends in total domestic and professional ruin for the main character, the series was written with a definitive conclusion in mind. There was no creative provision for a second season, as the plot fully exhausts the source material and resolves the psychological trajectory of the characters within its limited timeframe.
