On January 28, 2017, it was announced that Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway would be starring in the "sexy noir" film, Serenity, which would be directed by Steven Knight from his own script, while Greg Shapiro and Guy Heeley would be producing the film through IM Global, which would also finance.[1] On April 18, Jason Clarke had joined the film to play Hathaway's character's rich husband.[2] On May 10, 2017, more cast was announced, including Uma Thurman to play McConaughey's character's love interest (although Thurman soon removed herself from the production due to scheduling conflicts), and Djimon Hounsou for an unspecified role.[3] In July 2017, confirmed cast was announced which included McConaughey, Hathaway, Clarke, Hounsou, Diane Lane (replacing Thurman), and Jeremy Strong.[4][5]

Principal photography on the film began late-July 2017 in Mauritius.[4][5]
