On April 25, 2017, it was reported that director Tom McCarthy was in talks to direct an adaptation of Stephan Pastis's novel Timmy Failure for Walt Disney Pictures. McCarthy was expected to write the film's screenplay with Pastis and Jim Whitaker was set to serve as a producer.[1][2]

On February 8, 2018, it was announced that the film would premiere on the upcoming Disney streaming service that is set to launch in the fall of 2019.[3]

On July 31, 2018, it was announced that Ophelia Lovibond had been cast in the role of Patty Failure.[4]

Filming

On June 9, 2017, it was initially reported that the film would go through pre-production from June 26 through September 15, 2017 with sixty days of filming following in Louisiana. The film was set with a budget of $42 million, with $32 million of that being spent in-state. That included an estimated $10 million on Louisiana payroll.[5]

Filming took place during the week of June 27, 2018, in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, where a set was constructed made to look like a border crossing between the United States and Canada.[6] Production continued in Surrey on July 5, 2018, at the local Cloverdale Fairgrounds, where a scene was shot where a vehicle travels through a house.[7] Principal photography was expected to take place from July 27 through September 8, 2018 in Portland, Oregon.[8]
