Millie Bobby Brown Set to Produce and Star in Netflix Comedy NON-REFUNDABLE Opposite Jack Innanen
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown is continuing her relationship with Netflix after wrapping her Enola Holmes trilogy, and the Untitled upcoming spy comedy co-starring David Harbour.
Her next project with the streamer will be a comedy titled Non-Refundable that she’ll produce and headline opposite Jack Innanen, the breakout star of FX’s Adults.
With Emmy-nominated SNL alum Paul Briganti aboard to direct, Non-Refundable is billed as a high-concept commercial comedy centered on Nate (Innanen) and Dani (Brown), an ex-couple who are still on the hook for their wedding venue despite breaking up. This leads them to travel to Mexico out of spite, where they try showing each other up with new dates.
Deadline reports that sources have said Non-Refundable reflects Netflix’s interest in revitalizing a version of the rom-com you see less of these days — a film like Forgetting Sarah Marshall that had big laughs and emotional stakes in equal measure.
Execs were on the lookout for fresh takes and knew they’d found the one in new writer Bernstein’s spec when the team started quoting its one-liners and referencing its set pieces around the office.
I love a good rom-com, and I look forward to more movies like the referenced Forgetting Sarah Marshall to be made.
