Was packaged to the Cannes Film Festival under the title "North of Hollywood, West of Hell."
The 10 volumes are each named after a trump or Major Arcana card in a traditional Tarot deck. The 22 trump cards in a tarot deck are numbered 0 to 21. The numbers corresponding to the volumes are: the Devil (15), the Lovers (6), the Hermit (9), the Tower (16), the Fool (0), the High Priestess (2), the Magician (1), the Hanged Man (12), the Empress (3), the World (21). Arguably, the meaning of each card loosely relates to the narrative of that volume, not just a character. It is possible that watching the series in the order of the Tarot card numbers (5, 7, 6, 9, 2, 3, 8, 1, 4, 10) will engage those who are exasperated by the pace of the existing sequence of the series.
Each episode ranges between 75 and 90 minutes long, with Nicolas Winding Refn referring it as a 13-hour movie.
Co-creator Nicolas Winding Refn said he came up with the title while he was finishing his last movie, The Neon Demon (2016), stating that he liked the prospect of having a much bigger canvas to tell a story. "The difference between streaming and traditional theatrical is that streaming is an energy flow around us that runs 24 hours a day," Refn said. "Streaming is like an ocean of possibilities. The idea that I could make something that had no control was so interesting." He also revealed that Trump helped inform "Too Old to Die Young."
At one point during filming, co-creator Nicolas Winding Refn told cinematographer Darius Khondji that he wanted to shoot the series on an iPhone, since they were watching playback on their phones. This idea, however, was scrapped due to resolutions problems.
