## Plot

An unhappy housewife in the 1950s is discovering a disturbing truth, while her loving husband hides a dark secret.

## Production

It was announced in August 2019 that a bidding war amongst 18 studios was occurring to acquire the next project directed by Olivia Wilde. It was won by New Line Cinema the same month. The screenplay appeared on the 2019 Black List.

In April 2020, Florence Pugh, Shia LaBeouf and Chris Pine were added to the cast of the film, with Dakota Johnson joining the next month. In September 2020, Harry Styles joined the cast of the film, replacing LaBeouf who departed due to a scheduling conflict. In October 2020, Gemma Chan and KiKi Layne joined the cast of the film, with Layne replacing Johnson who also had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict with *The Lost Daughter*. That same month, Sydney Chandler, Nick Kroll, Douglas Smith, Kate Berlant, Asif Ali, Timothy Simons, and Ari'el Stachel joined the cast of the film.

Principal photography began on October 20, 2020. It was temporarily halted on November 4 after a positive COVID-19 case was detected within the crew. Filming wrapped on February 13 2021.
