Development
During the writing process for Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) in 2011, George Miller and Brendan McCarthy found that they had enough story material for two additional scripts. In March 2015, during an interview with Esquire, Tom Hardy revealed that he was attached to star in three more Mad Max films following Fury Road. Miller told Wired in May 2015 that if the film becomes successful, he will tell the other two stories. Later that month, Miller revealed that plans for the sequel had changed and the fifth film in the franchise will instead be titled Mad Max: The Wasteland. That October 2015, Miller's team had scripts for two sequels.

Later that month, Miller clarified that Mad Max: The Wasteland was a working title for the sequel. Miller reaffirmed his intent to continue the franchise after reports to the contrary surfaced. In November 2017, it was reported that a lawsuit filed by Miller's production company against Warner Bros. over a disputed $7 million bonus was likely to delay the production of any sequels. In July 2019, Miller told IndieWire that the two films will both involve separately: a Mad Max story and a Furiosa story, in which their possibility is clear.

Filming
Principal photography was scheduled to begin on 2 June 2020.
