Taisuke Kawamura (Kuragehime, Nodame Cantabile Saishū Gakushō) is directing the film at Sony Pictures Entertainment. Nonji Nemoto (Ya Boy Kongming! the Movie) wrote the screenplay, and Toshihiko Sahashi (Kamen Rider Hibiki, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed) is composing the music.
The first season of the live-action TV series adaptation launched in 2022, with a special episode in 2023, and the second season aired in 2024.
