After filming wrapped, Paul Mescal gave his character's signature chain necklace as a gift to Daisy Edgar-Jones.
The show features several scenes of full frontal nudity from Paul Mescal and he said that he wouldn't have done the show without it because it was essential to the role. He told The Sun, "I wouldn't like to have done the show without nudity in it because the book is so visceral and raw, and when I read the book the characters are clearly naked in my head."
When the list of students receiving scholarships is read out, one of the names is David Sexton, likely a nod to the book reviewer by the same name who wrote a piece about the novel entitled, "Why Sally Rooney's love story deserves to win the Man Booker Prize".
Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal rehearsed their sex scenes for two weeks before filming while wearing sweatpants. They worked with the director to choreograph any lovemaking, mapping out the shapes of their bodies so that the cameras could catch all the correct angles. They didn't see each other fully nude until the day of filming. Each wore modesty garments over their genitalia during filming and kept a triangle-shaped pillow between them.
