- The film is produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, directed by YouTube horror filmmaker Dylan Clark, who is also involved in other horror projects with notable producers like Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele.
- Executive producers include the original 1999 film’s creators Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick, and Gregg Hale, along with original cast members Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams.
- The original Blair Witch Project, acquired by Artisan in 1999, became a massive global hit with nearly $249 million worldwide, largely due to its innovative found footage style and clever marketing that blurred fiction and reality.
- The 2000 sequel, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, directed by Joe Berlinger, underperformed with a $48 million worldwide box office, failing to resonate with fans.
