Production
It was announced in May 2020 that Netflix had purchased the pitch for Our Man from Jersey (later titled to The Union), which would see Mark Wahlberg star. Joe Barton and David Guggenheim will write the screenplay from a story by Stephen Levinson. In March 2021, Halle Berry was cast to co-star alongside Wahlberg. In May 2022, J. K. Simmons, Jackie Earle Haley, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica De Gouw and Alice Lee were added to the cast.

Filming had commenced in March 2022, with shooting to take place in London, New Jersey, and Piran, Slovenia. The production caused slight controversy in May 2022 due to noise and air pollution from filming in Fitzrovia. In September 2022, filming occurred in Ponterosso Trieste, Italy.
