===Development===
Development on Kamen Rider Revice began during the height of COVID-19, where producer Taku Mochizuki had wanted to do a ""-type concept that symbolized the end of the pandemic. However as the virus showed no signs of slowing down, Mochizuki choose to go with a family drama instead, https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/revice/1. He stated that the main reason for this was to encourage the children audience to spend more time with their family during the pandemic and realize how important they are. Kinoshita originally planned to use his own family as a model for the Igarashi family and have only a single parent, but later scrapped the idea and went with the suggestion of having a full family of five with both parents alive instead.https://twitter.com/hanta_kinoshita/status/1563859070863687680
Revice is the third series to be an anniversary like Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider Zi-O, and Mochizuki felt that the trope of having former Rider actors appear in guest spots was overused, but still wanted to someone incorporate each of the past Riders into the show, which is shown through the varying forms of Revi and Vice.https://www.cinematoday.jp/news/N0125670 
===Writing===
Although one of the major themes of Revice is family, most of the drama comes from the community of people surrounding the Igarashi siblings. There were also plans for Yukimi Igarashi to die in the first episode, but the idea was scrapped as the show's theme was family and not revenge. To further symbolize the family theme, the Igarashi family have a family dinner in the first episode. 
During development, a public bath was not in the plans, and the three main characters were three boys who were unrelated with each other and worked together at a theme park on an artificial island instead. Furthermore to tighten the bond between actors, Ikki, Daiji, and Sakura were made into siblings. To evolve on the fact that many main characters in recent Kamen Rider series become Riders, all three siblings become Riders. To balance out the action that comes from the action and demon exposition, the idea of Yukimi representing the "normalcy" of an ordinary family running a public bath and doing typical daily activities was heavily pushed, as Genta himself was already being given plot importance. 
The ideal of demons in everyday life has become popular in recent years such as Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, while the "buddy" trope was used in both Kamen Rider Den-O and Kamen Rider OOO. As such, Vice was created to encompass all of these themes. 
Kinoshita had originally proposed that the primary Rider be a woman, but the idea was rejected because the show's main demographic was boyshttps://twitter.com/hanta_kinoshita/status/1464833927026143233, added to the fact that Toei did not want to implement such a major change to the series immediately after COVID-19.https://twitter.com/Specialusu30258/status/1674222410411970560 However because in recent years, more females have been shown to watch Kamen Rider as well as more strong female leads in shows with a primary male demographic have been appearing. As such, Toei allowed Kinoshita to include a female Rider in the cast, resulting in the creation of Sakura and her story-arc with Aguilera, which was written to "compete" with the main characters.Figure King 297 2022 , pp. 62–63, Coverage/Composition/Text Kyotaro Ohmae "Devil Rider Apocalypse [Chapter 3: Brilliant Naru Contest!

===Filming===
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the guest spots in Saber ultimately became main cast members, so a conscious effort was made to make sure Revice has plenty of one-off guest appearances in matter similar to Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider OOO, with the story of the episode that they appear in, revolving around them. Because the genre of Revice isn't fantasy, certain filming techniques from Saber were unable to be used. However, the production team were able to properly film across Japan this time, allowing more on-location shoots while following proper COVID-19 prevention protocols. To emphasize the public baths theme, many scenes with the cast in them were filmed. Filming wrapped on June 29, 2022.https://twitter.com/junya_komatsu/status/1542144269665947648
===Post Production===
Toei Company confirmed and filed the trademark for Revice on May 23, 2021. In June, Revice was revealed to the public in promotional posters for , followed by toy magazine promos a few weeks later. On July 27, 2021, Toei held a press conference to unveil the heroes and further discussed the details of the show, while also officially announcing Kinoshita as the series' head screenwriter. The series premiered on September 5, 2021.
===Controversy===
On November 2021, an unnamed assistant producer of the show had filed a complaint to the General Support Union regarding her position in the franchise since her promotion into the current position. Among the addressed issues were sexual harassment, unpaid overtime, and the chief producer not taking her problems seriously. Despite the hardships she endured, the assistant producer clarified this was in regards to her overall experiences at Toei and not at all related with the staff of Revice, reassuring that they were easy to work with.https://note.com/sguion/n/n468865111027https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2021/11/lawsuit-filed-against-toei-for-harassment-and-toxic-work-conditions/
==Plot==
In 1971, a scientific expedition in Latin America had uncovered an ancient artifact containing the remains of the demon Giff, leading to the creation of the Vistamps. In the present day, the remains of Giff now lie in the hands of a demon cult called the Deadmans, who seek to resurrect him by converting peoples' inner demons into their fold. Fenix, a governmental organization opposing the Deadmans, have developed the Revice Driver for someone with complete control over their inner demon. Ikki Igarashi, a young man who runs a public bath with his family, comes into acquisition of the belt while forming a contract with his inner demon Vice. Together, as Kamen Rider Revi and Vice, they are Kamen Rider Revice!

*The show’s title card incorporates the number 50 with Revice's logo in the 0, as this series is the primary representative of Kamen Rider’s 50th anniversary.
*It was originally reported that all the previous installments of Kamen Rider would exist as a fictional franchise within the continuity of Revice, in a vein similar to Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever. However, producer Taku Mochizuki has clarified that this has been changed to allow Revice to exist in the same universe as its predecessors, allowing for crossovers like Saber's final episode to occur easily.https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20210905-1964727/4
*Revice is the first series since OOO to feature two Secondary Riders.
**It is also the first Reiwa series to feature two secondary riders.
