In January 2022, it was announced that Endeavor Content had developed and financed the biopic film Samo Lives, with Kelvin Harrison Jr. portraying Jean-Michel Basquiat while Julius Onah was writing and directing the project after Harrison Jr. and Onah worked together on the critically acclaimed drama Luce (2019).[1]

Filming began on September 15, in Jersey City, New Jersey.[2][3] In October 2025, production had wrapped with 14 more actors having been added to the cast, including Jeffrey Wright, who had previously portrayed Basquiat in the 1996 film Basquiat.[4]
