Paramount Pictures acquired the rights to Damien Lewis's book The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill's Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops in 2015. Guy Ritchie signed on to direct the project in February 2021, from a script by Arash Amel, with Jerry Bruckheimer producing the film.[2] In October 2022, Henry Cavill and Eiza González were set to star, with Paramount no longer involved.[3] In February 2023, additional casting including Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding, Alex Pettyfer and Cary Elwes was announced.[4]

Filming began on February 13, 2023, in Antalya, Turkey.[5][6] It wrapped up in April 2023.[7]

The day filming began, it was announced Lionsgate had acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film, planning to give it a wide release sometime in 2024, and Black Bear International had sold international distribution rights for Europe, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, India and pan-Asian pay TV to Prime Video.[5]
