• The film is based on Becky Albertalli's debut novel "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda" (2015), and its working title was the same as the book's. However, it was later decided that the title was too long, and it was shortened.
• Director Greg Berlanti said that some scenes with friends (Simon, Leah, Abby, and Nick) were filmed while the actors believed filming had stopped. In pursuit of authentic reactions, he would sometimes say "Cut!" after having previously warned the operator to continue filming. Some of these scenes made it into the final cut of the film.
• The film made such an impression on Kristen Bell, Neil Patrick Harris, Matt Bomer, Tyler Oakley, and the hosts of the online show "Superfruit" Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi that they purchased all the tickets for screenings in their hometowns out of their own pockets, making these screenings free so that as many viewers as possible could see the film. Director Greg Berlanti did the same.
