Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote were approached to write and direct a sequel to Becky in December 2021 by producer J.D. Lifshitz. Given no further direction and only three weeks to write the script, Angel watched Kill Bill for guidance in the film's tone and characters. Lulu Wilson worked closely with the filmmakers to soften the edges of Becky. Having two years passed between films, Wilson hoped to see a more mature iteration of the character.
Production took place in secret in New Jersey, spanning 18 days. Additional filming occurred in the town of Scotch Plains in early June 2022.
In June 2022, the film was officially announced under the title Becky 2: The Wrath of Becky. Seann William Scott was revealed to be playing the film's villain, as well as serving as an executive producer alongside Wilson.
Angel and Coote, as well as their cinematographer Julia Swain, decided to drop the hand-held methods of filming utilized in the previous film and instead use slicker camera movements and Steadicam.
Both Becky and The Wrath of Becky cast two actors best known for comedic roles as the main villain. The former cast Kevin James and the latter cast Seann William Scott.
