Production
It was announced in June 2021 that Netflix had won the rights to the project. Jerry Seinfeld would direct, produce, co-write and star in the film, which is based on a joke he told about the creation of the Pop-Tart. In June 2022, Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, and James Marsden were among the newest additions to the cast. Grant provided an audition tape for Seinfeld, being the first time he had done so in over 30 years. In August, Maria Bakalova was announced for a cameo appearance. In February 2024, it was revealed that Bill Burr and Dan Levy joined the cast.
The production was granted a tax credit to film in California in February 2022. Filming began on May 25, 2022, in Los Angeles, and was set to run until July 1. Filming also took place at the University of California, Irvine.
In November 2022, Seinfeld told the press that Netflix executives were watching the final cut of the movie for the first time, with a projected release in early 2023. This did not materialize. Jim Gaffigan appeared at the Golden Globe Awards in January 2024 as part of promotion for the film.
Music
Christophe Beck will be providing the score for the film. Meghan Trainor and Jimmy Fallon provide a song for the film called “Sweet Morning Heat.”
