Chazelle began developing the film in July 2019, with Lionsgate as the frontrunner to acquire the project. It was announced that Paramount Pictures had acquired worldwide rights in November 2019. Much of the main cast joined the project between January 2020 and August 2021, and filming took place in Los Angeles from July to October 2021.

Babylon premiered at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles on November 14, 2022, and was released in the United States on December 23. The film polarized critics, who generally praised its cinematography, score, production design and lead performances, but were sharply divided on its direction, screenplay, graphic content, and runtime. It was a box-office bomb, grossing over $41 million against a production budget of $78\\u201380 million.[6] The film received five nominations at the 80th Golden Globe Awards (including Best Motion Picture \\u2013 Musical or Comedy, winning Best Original Score), nine nominations at the 28th Critics' Choice Awards (including Best Picture), three nominations at the 76th British Academy Film Awards, and three nominations at the 95th Academy Awards.
