Henshall won the 2016 BAFTA Scotland award for Best Actor and the series received the award for Best TV Drama.
The stories take place largely on the eponymous archipelago, although some of the filming takes place on the Scottish mainland. Most, but not all, exterior location filming takes place in Shetland. Interiors may be filmed in either Shetland or in west central Scotland.
On 20 July 2022, ahead of the show’s seventh series, Henshall's departure was announced with Jensen revealed as his replacement.
A ninth and tenth series were commissioned in March 2024. It will be followed by an eleventh series which will be the final to star Alison O'Donnell, who announced her departure on 12 June 2026.
