Spike Lee is also an executive producer through his 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks production company.[5] Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, and Ice Spice joined the cast soon after,[6][7][8] and principal photography began in New York City on March 4, 2024, with Matthew Libatique as cinematographer.[9]

The film is set to be released theatrically by A24 before it is available to stream on Apple TV+.[5]
