On 27 October 2022, Pierre Niney announced in his Instagram account that he was writing and was also going to co-produce and star in a new comedy series directed by his friend Igor Gotesman. "I could say that this is the big sister of the series Casting(s) and the film Five. You will find people that you may have liked," Niney said.[7]

On 24 February 2023, Netflix France announced that the series Fiasco was being filmed and that it will have 7 episodes of 35 minutes.[2] Netflix also shared a behind-the-scenes video showing the cast (Niney, François Civil, Gotesman, Géraldine Nakache, Louise Coldefy, Leslie Medina, Pascal Demolon, Juliette Gasquet, Djimo and Marie-Christine Barrault).[8] Gotesman, Niney and Civil had previously worked together on the television series Casting(s) (2013–2015) and on the comedy film Five (2016).[9] Niney said that they dreamed of making this project since Casting(s) and Five.[10]

On 11 March 2024, Niney announced in his Twitter account that Vincent Cassel was also in the cast and that the release date of Fiasco would be announced the next day.[11]

Principal photography began on 17 January 2023 under the title Making Of,[12] and wrapped on 19 April 2023.[13] Filming took place in Paris,[14] Seine-et-Marne in Nandy,[15][12] Saint-Chéron,[12] and in Bruyères-le-Châtel, Essonne.[16]
