On October 9, 2015, TheWrap reported a film based on Stine's Fear Street series was being developed by 20th Century Studios (then known as 20th Century Fox before its acquisition by Disney) and Chernin Entertainment.[3] On February 13, 2017, The Tracking Board reported that Kyle Killen will write the script for the film.[4] Leigh Janiak will direct the film, and Janiak and her partner Phil Graziadei will contribute to the script written by Killen.[5][6] The film will be the first to be released as part of a trilogy of films set in different time periods. The Hollywood Reporter states that the plan is to film the trilogy back-to-back, and release the films one month apart.[5]

In February 2019, it was reported that Kiana Madeira and Olivia Welch would be starring in the film as teenagers "trying to navigate their rocky relationship when they're targeted by the crazy horrors of their small town, Shadyside". The two characters are from different time periods, with one being from the mid-1990s and the other from the 1600s.[7] In March 2019, Benjamin Flores Jr., Ashley Zukerman, Fred Hechinger, Julia Rehwald and Jeremy Ford joined the cast.[8][9] In April 2019, Gillian Jacobs, Sadie Sink, Emily Rudd and McCabe Slye joined the cast.[10][11][12] The following month, Darrell Britt-Gibson was announced as a cast member.[13]

In March 2019, filming began in Atlanta and East Point, Georgia.[9][14] Several vacant storefronts in the North DeKalb Mall in Georgia were renovated so that they could be used for filming.[15][16] Casual Corner, Software Etc., B. Dalton Bookseller, Musicland and Gadzooks were placed.[17] Production also took place at Hard Labor Creek State Park in Rutledge in August 2019.[18] Filming wrapped in September 2019.[19]

The film was scheduled to be released in June 2020,[20] but it was pulled from the schedule because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[21] In April 2020, Chernin Entertainment ended their distribution deal with 20th Century Studios and made a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix.[22]

On August 11, 2020, it was reported that Netflix had acquired the trilogy for a mid 2021 release date with the original strategy of releasing one film per month.[1]
