On May 16, 2019, it was announced that James Gray would be writing and directing *Armageddon Time*, a film heavily based around his upbringing in Queens, New York. Cate Blanchett was cast in May 2020, with Gray stating that she would shoot all her scenes in three days, including a lengthy monologue. The following month, Robert De Niro, Oscar Isaac, Donald Sutherland, and Anne Hathaway were added to the cast, with plans to film in New York City once the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were minimal.

Filming began in October 2021 in New Jersey. It was initially expected to start in early 2021. In October it was reported that Anthony Hopkins and Jeremy Strong would also star alongside newcomers Banks Repeta, Jaylin Webb, and Ryan Sell. By the time production began, Blanchett, De Niro, Isaac, and Sutherland were no longer a part of the project. Production wrapped in December 2021 and Andrew Polk and Tovah Feldshuh were confirmed to star. Domenick Lombardozzi was revealed as part of the cast in March 2022.
