Production was brought back to the Cabrini Green neighborhood where Candyman (1992) was filmed. Though the high-rise buildings have long been demolished, the Rowhouses still exist.

William Burke is seen reading the Clive Barker novel "Weaveworld." Barker created the character of the Candyman in his short story "The Forbidden."

The film reuses the same sound of the crying baby from the original film.

LaKeith Stanfield was considered for the role of Anthony McCoy, but he turned it down for Judas and the Black Messiah (2021), which garnered him his first Academy Award nomination.

Jordan Peele was originally attached to direct the project early on in production before moving into a producer's role. Nia DaCosta was hired as director, and later became the first black female filmmaker to have a movie open at first place at the box office.
