By June, it was reported that Fincher was planning to begin filming in November 2021 in Paris, while the involvement of cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt was also confirmed.[4] Tilda Swinton joined the cast in October.[5]

Filming

Principal photography began in early November 2021 in Paris; filming was also expected to take place in New Orleans and the Dominican Republic.[6] In January 2022, it was confirmed that filming would take place in St. Charles, Illinois in March for ten days.[7] On March 28, 2022, it was announced that filming had wrapped.[8]

The Killer is expected to be released on Netflix on November 10, 2023. The release date was revealed in a preview of Netflix's 2023 film slate uploaded to YouTube on January 18, 2023.[9]
