It follows the lives of a group of thirty-something friends as they drown their sorrows at a virtual bar during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia.
[1] Retrograde is a six part series created by Mark O'Toole and Meg O'Connell and is directed by Natalie Bailey.
[citation needed] The series was conceived of in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, when O'Connell helped organise a virtual bar similar to the one featured in the show.
She and Scott then pitched the idea to Que Minh Luu less than a week later, and the show began production.
[2] The show was shot remotely via a series of Zoom calls between the producers, crew, and actors.
