The title of the trilogy, "Red Riding," derives from two main sources-Yorkshire, the location of the crimes, and Red Riding Hood, the traditional tale. Yorkshire, a county of England, is divided into three sections or "ridings." The action takes place in the West Riding. One of the girls who goes missing is wearing a red anorak or hooded jacket, and one of the attackers bears the nickname, Wolf.
The curry house Sean Bean uses was the 'Koh-I-Noor' in Bradford on Simes Street. The building still stands, but a different business is now there.
The television trailers for all three Red Riding episodes bore the tagline "Based on True Events." Nevertheless, none of the characters, nor the murder victims, bear the names of real people and only a few have obvious real-life models.
Columbia Pictures acquired the rights to adapt the novels and films into a theatrical film. The studio was negotiating with Ridley Scott in October 2009 to direct.
At the 2010 British Academy Television Awards, the series was nominated for Best Drama Serial while Rebecca Hall won Best Supporting Actress.
