Originally adapted from Dracula's Daughter (1936), the film began development in April 2023, with Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett set to direct, and Shields and Busick assigned to write the screenplay. The production was a collaboration between Bettinelli-Olpin, Gillett, and Chad Villella's Radio Silence Productions, James Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and William Sherak's Project X Entertainment, and Tripp Vinson's Vinson Films.
The film premiered worldwide at the Overlook Film Festival on April 7, 2024 and had its theatrical release in the United States by Universal Pictures on April 19. Critics responded positively to the movie, which earned $43 million against a $28 million budget.
