Annapurna Pictures acquired the rights to the novel in August 2017, with the intention to turn it into a television series.[4] In August 2021, Apple TV+ greenlit the series, with Kelly Marcel writing the series and serving as showrunner, Melina Matsoukas directing and Lakeith Stanfield cast to star.[5] Adina Porter and Clark Backo were added to the cast in March 2022.[6] In June, musician Samuel T. Herring joined the cast.[7] Malcolm Barrett, Alexis Louder, Amirah Vann and Jared Abrahamson would be cast in recurring roles in July.[8]
Filming on the series began by May 2022 in New Jersey under the working title Improbable Valentine. Filming locations included Hoboken, Jersey City, and New York City, as well as Toronto and London, Ontario.[9][10]
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 74% approval score with an average rating of 6.95/10 based on 73 reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Grounded by a superb LaKeith Stanfield, The Changeling is an ambitious fairy tale that may be too scattershot in its tonality but never lacks for imagination or spirit."[11] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 64 out of 100 based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[12]
At the 39th Independent Spirit Awards Adina Porter was nominated for Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series while Clark Backo for Best Breakthrough Performance in a New Scripted Series.[13]
