The film is said to have taken at least two years to make, and filming was halted after Mohammadzadeh, the lead actor, contracted COVID-19.[2]

Similar to Leila's Brothers by Saeed Roustayi at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival starring Navid Mohammadzadeh, Beyond The Wall has not received permission from the Iranian authorities. German company, The Match Factory, secured the film's international rights in July 2022.[4]
