In October 2022, it was reported that Universal Pictures had set M. Night Shyamalan's next film after the release of Knock at the Cabin for an April 2024 release. The title of the film was revealed to be Trap in February 2023, as Shyamalan announced that he was entering a first-look deal with competing studio Warner Bros. Marc Bienstock and Ashwin Rajan produced the film with Shyamalan.

Principal photography was scheduled to begin in Cincinnati, Ohio in August 2023, where it would have received over $9 million in tax credits from the state to film there. Due to Shyamalan producing and financing his own films, the production was granted an interim agreement to be allowed to film during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Under the working title Good Grades, filming took place in Toronto from October 16 to December 8, 2023. The film's pop concert venue known as "Tanaka Arena" was filmed inside FirstOntario Centre with Rogers Centre used as the venue's exterior.

Trap is scheduled to be released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 9, 2024. It was previously scheduled to be released on August 2. It will be Shyamalan's first film with the studio since Lady in the Water (2006).
