The project was announced for Netflix in February 2024 as being produced by Cillian Murphy’s production company, Big Things Films, with his collaborator Alan Moloney also a producer. Tim Mielants is directing, and Max Porter has adapted his own novel Shy for the film.[2] Murphy and Porter previously collaborated on the stage adaptation of Porter's Grief is the Thing with Feathers and on the short film All of This Unreal Time. Porter gave Murphy a copy of Shy in a proof edition before it was completed and Murphy was quoted as saying "it just broke my heart. They're the sorts of things I love as a reader and as a performer".[3]
