Production

In August 2019, it was reported Eva Longoria would direct the film, with DeVon Franklin producing under his Franklin Entertainment banner and Searchlight Pictures also producing.[4] Franklin Entertainment was informed of Montañez's erroneous claims by Frito-Lay in April 2019 after an internal investigation had been prompted the previous year, but the producers elected to continue with the original premise.[5][6] In May 2021, Jesse Garcia and Annie Gonzalez joined the cast of the film.[4] The film completed production in August 2021, and the cast was announced at that time.[3][7]

Release

Flamin' Hot had its world premiere at South by Southwest (SXSW) on March 11, 2023,[8] in advance of its streaming release on Hulu and Disney+ on June 9, 2023.[9][10]
