Development

Before the 2022 Cannes Film Market, Magpie was announced as a project for buyers to distribute. The film had Sam Yates attached to direct a screenplay written by Tom Bateman. The original story was developed by Daisy Ridley, who was also attached to star opposite Shazad Latif. Matilda Lutz was included in the cast as well.[2]

Principal photography began in January 2023, with plans for a month-long shoot.[3]
