Principal photography is set to commence in September this year. The selected locations are near the M25 in England, and in Wales, including the city of Aberystwyth (a crucial location in the storyline).

Grans Gone Wild is being produced by Katie Dolan for British outfit Cosmik Pictures. Before boarding the project, Dolan gained extensive experience as an executive producer for top music stars such as David Bowie, Sigur Rós, Chemical Brothers, Coldplay and Elton John.

The release date is yet to be confirmed.
