Vincent Landay is producer in the film alongside Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman and Alison Small for Brownstone Productions. The film will also mark Alex Prager’s feature debut, who co-wrote the script with her sister Vanessa.[2]

Filming was delayed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[3] In May 2024, just as filming commenced in Los Angeles, Republic Pictures pre-emptively acquired North American distribution rights to the film, with financier HanWay Films handling international sales,[4] On May 9, it was announced that Juliette Lewis, Kathryn Newton, and Sofia Boutella joined the cast.[5]
