Development[]

In February 2018, it was announced that New Line Cinema was developing a remake House Party with LeBron James and Maverick Carter producing under their production company SpringHill Entertainment. Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori were attached to write the adaptation.[1] In September 2019, it was announced that Calmatic joined the production as director.[2] The film is scheduled to be released exclusively on HBO Max via streaming.[3]

Casting[]

In April 2021, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and Tosin Cole were cast in lead roles.[4] DC Young Fly joined the cast,[3] followed in June by Karen Obilom,[5] Melvin Gregg, Rotimi, Allen Maldonado, Shakira Ja'nai Paye, Andrew Santino, and Bill Bellamy.[6][7] By July 2021, Lendeborg Jr. was replaced by Jacob Latimore, following the former's departure from the project to focus on improving his mental health.[8] That same month, Tamera Kissen was cast in a supporting role.[9]

Filming[]

Principal photography began on July 2, 2021, in California.[10] Production was suspended later that month due to nine positive cases of COVID-19 reported, although only one was part of the production star, while the rest were extras. Filming subsequently resumed on August 2, 2021.[11]
