Eight directors were on the short list to direct the film, which included Ben Stiller, Danny Boyle, Gareth Edwards, Jon Turteltaub, Jonathan Demme, Shawn Levy, Stephen Chbosky, and Tim Burton.[6] Later in August 2014, it was reported that Peter Chelsom, who previously directed Hector and the Search for Happiness for Relativity, was hired to direct the film, while Relativity would produce and distribute the film.[7] Ryan Kavanaugh was attached to produce the film along with Southpaw Entertainment's Richard B. Lewis.[7]

On February 2, 2015, Asa Butterfield was tapped to play the lead character in the film, he would play a teen who was raised on Mars and falls in love with a Colorado-native girl on Earth he has been communicating with. Chelsom and Tinker Lindsay rewrote the screenplay.[1] On July 13, 2015, it was announced that Relativity was selling the project to STX Entertainment, in order to reach an agreement with its creditors and avoid having to file for bankruptcy.[8] STX would produce and distribute the film now while Lewis only would serve as a producer.[8] On July 31, 2015, Gary Oldman, Carla Gugino and Britt Robertson joined the cast of the currently untitled film.[2] Robertson would play the female lead, a teen girl from Colorado.[2] On September 8, 2015, it was announced that the title of the film would be The Space Between Us and B.

Wong and Janet Montgomery were added to the cast.[3] On September 30, 2015, Trey Tucker joined the film to play an astronaut.[4] On October 23, 2015, Scott Takeda was cast in to play a doctor in the film.[5]

Principal photography on the film began on September 14, 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[9][5]
