Tom Hanks is involved along with his partner Gary Goetzman as a producer through their banner Playtone. The stage show producer Paul Blake is also involved. Sherry Kondor, Christine Russell, Steven Shareshian, and Mike Bosner will executive produce.

Cholodenko has written the script in collaboration with Stuart Blumberg.&nbsp;

Edgar-Jones, 24, rose to fame with BBC, Hulu romantic drama miniseries 'Normal People', based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Sally Rooney. Her performance was also appreciated in the 2018 black comedy film 'Fresh'. Recently, she starred in the film adaptation of Delia Owens's book 'Where the Crawdads Sing'.

While the film was critically panned, Edgar-Jones' performance was widely praised. Wion's review of the film read, "Edgar-Jones once again gives her all to the character and her commitment to the performance somewhat kept me interested in the movie. But she had to shoulder a lot of poor writing in this movie. The visuals crafted by cinematographer Polly Morgan are pleasing to the eyes and another good thing about the movie. But, 'Where the Crawdads Sing' is still just a handsome-looking and well-acted movie that, thanks to a shoddy screenplay and direction, is an absolute chore to sit through."
