Development and filming
Before the eventual release of the prequel Leatherface in 2017, the rights to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise reverted back to co-creator Kim Henkel due to the film's extensive delays. On August 24, 2018, it was reported that Legendary Entertainment was pursuing the license, with the intention of developing multiple films and a television series. It was later announced that Fede Álvarez and Rodolfo Sayagues would produce a new TCM film in collaboration with Legendary Entertainment, with Chris Thomas Devlin serving as the screenwriter. Ryan and Andy Tohill were announced to direct in February 2020, with Alvarez stating that "The Tohill's vision [of the film] is exactly what the fans want. It's violent, exciting and so depraved that it will stay with you forever." Production was intended to start on May 5, 2020, but was delayed to August due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A week into the film's production in Bulgaria, the Tohills exited the project because of creative differences with the studio. The week of their departure, production was temporarily halted as David Blue Garcia was hired to take over directorial duties, shooting the film from scratch.

Casting
A casting call first made its way online on May 6, 2020, the day after the film was originally scheduled to begin production. Elsie Fisher, Sarah Yarkin, Mark Burnham, Moe Dunford, Olwen Fouéré, Alice Krige, Jacob Latimore, Nell Hudson, Jessica Allain, Sam Douglas, William Hope, and Jolyon Coy were announced to have joined the cast on October 19, 2020.

Release and marketing
On October 19, 2020, the first poster for the film was revealed declaring a 2021 release date. Coinciding with the launch of the marketing campaign, Texas Chainsaw Massacre-themed content was announced for a limited time event in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone.
