Hustlers will be directed by Lorene Scafaria and produced by STXfilms. It is based on the New York Magazine article in 2015 titled, The Hustlers At Scores written by Jessica Pressler. The plot revolves around revenge-seeking strippers of a club who band together with fellow exotic dancers to swindle their male Wall Street clients.

On the same, Scafaria told Deadline, “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this dynamic group of women,” and added, “We’re grateful to have assembled such a powerhouse cast and can’t wait to start filming at the end of the week.” STXfilms's Chairman, Adam Fogelson also expressed how excited he is for the film. “We could not have asked for a more exciting or talented lineup of performers to join our cast,” he said.
