Development
After Left 4 Dead became a huge hit when it was released in 1987, George Johnson and his older son, Daniel Johnson began to have plans to make a sequel to that movie with new survivors, and new infected members like Charger, Jockey, Spitter and a female version of Boomer named Boomette.

Casting
At the end of summer 1989, casting began. At this time, Johnson's daughter, Hailey Matthews, decided to return to her acting career after the end of 5-year hiatus. She was cast as April O'Neil-inspired news reporter, Rochelle. Dennis Simmons was cast as Nick. James Avery was cast as Coach. Emily Matthews has always wanted to be an infected character, so her husband, George Johnson chose her to play Boomette.

Filming
In the fall of 1989, filming began in various areas around Los Angeles, California. During filming the scene where Witch chases after Rochelle, her yellow reporter jumpsuit almost caught on fire when a molotov cocktail landed on Witch. For the scene where new survivors meet old survivors minus Bill, George Johnson had to use footage of Francis, Zoey, and Louis talking to new survivors at the bridge, which was filmed after the first Left 4 Dead movie wrapped. In the winter of 1990, the film was wrapped, and the cast and crew were excited, and they couldn't wait until the film came out.

Release
The film came out on October 23, 1990, and it also became a huge hit.
