Ted Takes Fun Facts, HBO's Sharp Objects:
- Amy Adams was previously set to star in Dark Places (2015), but dropped out. This then marks her first collaboration with Gillian Flynn.
- While writing Sharp Objects, Flynn found that it was initially difficult to maintain the book's "moist," gothic tone", as she didn't want it to feel like something from Entertainment Weekly. As she was working for Entertainment Weekly while she was writing the novel, Flynn wrote the book predominantly on nights and weekends, a few hours at a time.
