Evan Rachel Wood, who played Kylie in the first film, posted on her Instagram story that she was not asked back, even though she had offered her services for a scene and had been told they were recasting. This is likely because the story isn't set 30 years later, like the gap between the films.
In 2019, Producer Denise Di Novi was originally set to produce a television series adaptation of Alice Hoffman's prequel novel Rules of Magic for HBO Max before this movie was announced.
The movie begins with the 1990s Warner Bros. Pictures logo.
