Originally meant to shoot on location in India in early 2020, before production was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It ended up filming in Indonesia in early 2021.
The film was originally meant to be released straight-to-streaming on Netflix until Jordan Peele saw the film and, feeling that it deserved a theatrical release instead, acquired it from Netflix under his Monkeypaw Productions banner, which has a distribution deal with Universal Pictures.
