The story focuses on an FBI agent who is based in Jerusalem and discovers a plot that dates back 2000 years while investigating a murder. The focus is on the prophetic return of the Jewish temple.[5]
The series is produced by Universal Cable Productions. It began filming in Jerusalem, but then moved production to Dubrovnik, Pula, Split and Trogir, Croatia and later to Albuquerque, New Mexico, due to the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.[15][16] Isaacs stated that when the show was originally written the entire premise was around shooting in Jerusalem.[17]
Six episodes of Dig were originally picked up for the miniseries, but this was later upped to ten episodes.[18]
