In January 2017, Kenya Barris was reported to be developing a White Men Can't Jump remake produced by NBA star Blake Griffin and NFL player Ryan Kalil. Nothing more was mentioned about the project until November 2021, when Calmatic was revealed to be the director. In March 2022, rapper Jack Harlow was cast in the film. In April 2022, Sinqua Walls was cast as Kamal Allen, the equivalent of Wesley Snipes' character in the original 1992 film. Other characters include Jermaine, who often antagonizes Kamal; Bobby, Kamal's boss; and an opposing fan who trash-talks Kamal. Barris will produce the film under his Khalabo Ink Society banner, and Kalil, Griffin, and Noah Weinstein will produce under their Mortal Media banner. On May 5, 2022, Lance Reddick, Teyana Taylor, and Laura Harrier were cast in the film. Additional castings included Tamera "Tee" Kissen, Myles Bullock, Vince Staples, and Zak Steiner.
Filming began on May 11, 2022, in Los Angeles, with Tommy Maddox-Upshaw as the cinematographer. It wrapped up by July 2022. The film will feature a soundtrack by DJ Drama. By January 11, 2023, the film was in post-production.
