Netflix Lands Holiday Comedy THE IN-CLAUS From Writer Travis Braun and Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller
Netflix has landed the holiday comedy feature The In-Claus, from The Lego Movie and the animated Spider-Verse writer/producers and Academy Award winners, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, aka Lord Miller. Travis Braun (Vampirina, T.O.T.S.) is penning the script.
Plot details are being kept under wraps for the pic, which is based on a short story by Braun and Gabrielle Meyer. Chris Miller, Phil Lord, Aditya Sood and Lucy Kitada are producing for Lord Miller.
Kitada, Lord Miller’s Head of Film, brought the story to Lord Miller. The producers were instantly excited about the script and took the spec to market, where Netflix was blown away by the package and outbid multiple buyers.
The film has been added to Netflix’s robust family-friendly film slate that includes the recent megahit KPop Demon Hunters and the upcoming live-action Narnia film from Greta Gerwig.
Lord Miller is next behind Project Hail Mary, which will be released March 20, 2026, by MGM. Lord and Miller are directing the film and producing along with Sood, Amy Pascal, Ryan Gosling and Rachel O’Connor.
The company is also producing the features The Last Expedition by Carly Wray based on a story by Andy Weir, and Everyday Parenting Tips, written by Braun based on the story by Simon Rich.
On the television side, the company produced the upcoming 2026 MGM+ and Prime Video series Spider-Noir starring Nicholas Cage and is in development on a slate of live-action and animated series in both comedy and drama based on Sony’s Marvel characters.
