The lead character will be played by Joey King who is widely known for starring in Netflix's The Kissing Booth trilogy. The 22-year-old has also received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her role in 2019 drama "The Act".

"The Princess" is a Disney+ original film produced by the company's newly acquired studio, 20th Century Fox. It will be available on streaming service Hulu in 2022.
