In December 2025, Star Hunter held the Star Hunter Project Line Up 2026 event, reintroducing the series with a new promotional video featuring the updated cast.
In July 2026, Star Hunter held the blessing ceremony and officially began filming at Canvas Studio by Charcoal Design in Bangkok.

The adaptation is based on a novel whose rights were acquired by Star Hunter approximately three years before production began. According to Naosopa, development of the project was postponed until the production team found actors they considered ideal for portraying the two lead characters.
