90% of the filming took place onsite at a local school, with filming taking around 10 hours per day and with no night shots. The film centres around the four child actors Zhou Yuchen (age 11 as of July 2023), Goh Wee-Ann (age 12 as of July 2023), Jiang Songheng (age 13 as of July 2023) and Huang Zhiyang (age 11 as of July 2023). More than 2,000 people reportedly participated in the auditions for the film. Among the young cast, I Not Stupid 3 marked the acting debut of Huang Zhiyang.

Richard Low made a cameo appearance in the film, reprising his role as Jerry Khoo in I Not Stupid (2002).

On the cast members, Hu Jing is a Chinese actress and child actor Zhou Yuchen is from Shanghai.

Child actress Goh Wee-Ann is active in the local television scene and has won the Star Awards for Young Talent twice.
