Frank, the Victory Project's leader, is shown living in Kaufmann House, one of the most well-known mid-century homes in the world. Although the Kaufmann House's exterior has been shown at various times over the years in both film and TV, Don't Worry Darling is the first film to feature scenes shot on the property itself, including several peeks at its rarely seen interiors.
Olivia Wilde originally wanted to play the lead role, but she cast Florence Pugh after seeing her in Midsommar - Il villaggio dei dannati (2019).
The hilltop headquarters of the Victory Corporation is the iconic "volcano house" in the Mojave Desert community of Newberry Springs, California. The house was owned by PBS television personality Huell Howser, who donated the house to Chapman University in 2012 shortly before his death.
In the script, Bunny was present in the dinner table scene, but Olivia Wilde removed her character from the scene so she could direct from behind the camera.
Although the film is set in a place described only as "Victory Town" onscreen, it's very clearly set - and its exteriors were filmed - in Palm Springs, California, from which most of its interior design is directly derived. The city has one of the largest caches of mid-century-modern (MCM) architecture and design in the world, and nearly every single visual element in the film draws heavily from the MCM aesthetic.
