The film was actually shot in South Africa, a rarity for a TV film produced for The Hallmark Channel, as the overwhelming majority of them are filmed in North America, and especially Canada, regardless of where the story is set.
Lead actress Lacey Chabert usually brings her family along on her film shoots, but didn't this time due to the remoteness of the shooting location.
This is the second Hallmark film in which Lacey Chabert and Brittany Bristow have worked together in; the other being Love, Chocolate & Romance (2019).
Aired as the first of five original films in The Hallmark Channel's 2018 "Summer Nights" lineup.
