The Entertainment System Is Down was announced by director Ruben Östlund in May 2022, after his film Triangle of Sadness premiered at the 75th Cannes Film Festival that month.[2][3] The film was inspired by Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel Brave New World.[4]

In December 2023, Östlund stated that he planned to begin filming in early 2025.[5] In April 2024, Keanu Reeves entered negotiations to star.[6] He was confirmed for the film the following month, with Kirsten Dunst and Daniel Brühl added to the cast.[7] It was also revealed that Östlund purchased a retired Boeing 747 to utilize for filming over 70 days.[1][8] That same month, A24 won a highly competitive bid for the film's US distribution rights at the Marché du Film in an eight-figure deal.[9] Nicholas Braun,[10] Samantha Morton,[11] Joel Edgerton,[12] and Vincent Lindon joined the cast the following month.[13] In January 2025, Tobias Menzies was added to the cast, replacing Edgerton in his role.[14]

Production occurs in Hungary.[15] It began by January 28, 2025, with Connor Swindells, Daniel Webber, Wayne Blair, Daniel Wyllie, Lindsay Duncan, Allan Corduner, Sofia Tjelta Sydness, Erin Ainsworth, Myles Kamwendo, Sanna Sundqvist, Elle Piper, Tea Stjärne, and Benjamin Ingrosso joining the cast.[16]
