In December 2019, Mélanie Laurent signed on to direct from a script by Dana Stevens with Cantillon still attached to produce. Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning were set to co-star as the sisters.[4]

Principal photography commenced on October 26, 2020, in Budapest, Hungary and Los Angeles, California.[5]
