In March 2024, it was reported that a romantic comedy film titled Merv was in development, with Jessica Swale directing, Linsey Stewart and Dane Clark writing the screenplay and Zooey Deschanel starring.[1]

In May, Charlie Cox, Chris Redd, Patricia Heaton, David Hunt, Ellyn Jameson, Wynn Everett, Jasmine Mathews, Darren DesLonde, and Joey Slotnick joined the cast of the film.[2]

Principal photography began in April 2024, in Wilmington, North Carolina,[3] and wrapped in June.[4] Filming transformed part of Princess Street into a snowy winter holiday season setup in the summer,[3] as well as giving the Kure Beach Fishing Pier a makeover.[4]
