{{cquote|I am always excited to announce a new project but ''After the Flood'' in particular tops all of the others due to its ambition and the characters. The cast are fantastic, and I am thrilled with how perfect each cast member is for their role. ITV have been brilliant throughout the writing process allowing us the time to craft the scripts with care which is rare and brilliant. Plus working with Quay Street Productions for Nicola and Richard is so special – because they and their teams are so special, and I feel truly honoured. It is going to be great seeing everyone getting into the story and seeing it come to life – and then there is the flood!<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.itv.com/presscentre/media-releases/itv-commissions-six-part-mystery-thriller-after-flood|title=ITV commissions six part mystery thriller, After the Flood|newspaper=[[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]]|date=16 February 2023|accessdate=25 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://rts.org.uk/article/mystery-thriller-after-flood-starring-sophie-rundle-commissioned-itv|title=Mystery-thriller After the Flood starring Sophie Rundle commissioned by ITV|newspaper=[[Royal Television Society]]|date=17 February 2023|accessdate=25 February 2023}}</ref>}}
