Director Edward Burn spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about The Family McMullen.

"It was a little surreal at times to be back working with [Connie Britton, Michael McGlone, and Shari Albert]. It was also very surreal to go back into my childhood home, where we shot the first film that my parents sold 20 years ago."

He added,

To walk into my childhood bedroom and the kitchen where I spent the first 25 years of my life was completely strange. But I say blessed because it took a long time for me to figure out what the sequel was going to be. It took a long time to write. It took a long time to get financed, and fortunately, Warner Bros. and HBO Max said yes. And here we are."

The director also delved into how he got the idea for the sequel after watching something at a film festival back in the 1990s.

"I was at Sundance in 1995 with The Brothers McMullen, and I remember literally getting off the plane from New York and going to the premiere of Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise. I watched [Robert Redford] introduce Rick on stage, and I thought to myself, that’s the career I want. When I saw the rest of the films in his trilogy, it occurred to me that I should start thinking about a McMullen sequel."
