The film, written by Brandon Cohen, is described as a modern-day take on Thelma & Louise driven by female rage.

Gomez gained recognition for playing America Chavez in Marvel's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. She has also appeared in Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club and won Season 32 of ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

McGraw recently reprised her role as Gwen Blake in The Black Phone 2. Her previous credits include American Sniper, Cars 3, Ant-Man and the Wasp and Toy Story 4.

Champion is known for playing Spider in the Avatar franchise and appearing in Scream VI. He is also set to star in the Netflix comedy Don't Say Good Luck, scheduled to premiere on August 14.

Bad Influence is produced by Debbie Liebling, Joel David Moore and Zachary Burgess. Moore and Liebling previously worked together on the comedies Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and Grandma's Boy. Several executive producers are also attached to the project.
