In January 2023, it was confirmed that casting for supporting roles was underway.[5]
Principal photography was originally going to take place on location in the United Kingdom, United States, and Italy in summer 2022,[3] but was postponed because Mescal and O'Connor had scheduling conflicts.[6] Production was rescheduled for after Hermanus completed Mary & George,[7] starting in Massachusetts.[5] In January 2024, it was reported that principal photography would begin soon;[8] Hermanus confirmed it officially commenced on 28 February.[9]

The blacksmith shop, located at the rear of the property, was turned into a Maine cabin and visited by stars Mescal and O'Connor. The location was one of two in the entire state that End Cue and Film4 were seeking. [12]
