Production

[edit]

In 2019, Netflix received the rights from 13 Tham Luang Company Limited, a company set up to oversee the story rights of the rescued members of the Wild Boars football team, to produce the series.[1] Although there have been a number of films produced concerning the events, Thai Cave Rescue is the only dramatic production that was granted access to the members of the Wild Boars, and featured their perspectives of their ordeal.[2]

On August 23, 2021, the production team of the series arrived at Tham Luang-Khun Nam Nang Non in Chiang Rai Province to prepare for the filming. Filming was conducted in the real homes of the members of the Wild Boars team as well as in the cave itself.[6] During production, the crew experienced difficulties when Thailand was locked down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of restrictions, the number of extras was reduced and crowd scenes were drastically scaled down.
