Development

In July 2020, Annapurna Pictures acquired the film rights to the then-unpublished Nightbitch, written by Rachel Yoder, with Amy Adams attached to star and produce.[2] Stacy O'Neil of Adams' Bond Group Entertainment production company will co-produce the film alongside Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle and Sammy Scher, while Yoder would serve as executive producer.[3] Can You Ever Forgive Me? filmmaker Marielle Heller connected with Yoder's novel and began to quietly develop the film alongside Adams during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Pre-production

In March 2022, filming was scheduled to begin in the fall of that year.[5] In May, the film shifted from Annapurna to Searchlight Pictures, who won out from five other bidders after purchasing the film rights for $25 million.[6] At this time, Heller's involvement was officially confirmed. Christina Oh, Adam Paulsen, and Heller had boarded the film as producers, while Scher moved to executive producer with Havilah Brewster.[7] On June 27, 2022, Scoot McNairy joined the film.[8][9]

Filming

Production was intended to begin in September 2022 in Los Angeles, California.[10] It began in October 2022, with the announcement of Ella Thomas and Garrett C. Phillips having joined the cast.[11][12] On October 21, 2022, Mary Holland joined the cast.[13]

Nightbitch will be released by Hulu.[14]
