Millie Bobby Brown is extending her partnership with Netflix.
According to Deadline, Brown is set to star in and produce Non-Refundable, a new comedy film for Netflix. Jack Innanen, the breakout star of FX’s Adults, will star opposite Brown. Paul Briganti is attached 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.
The comedy is based on a spec by David Bernstein. Deadline‘s sources stated 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. Apparently Netflix employees were quoting the one-liners found in Bernstein’s spec, so hopefully this turns out to be one of the streamer’s few good movies.
Brown has been with Netflix for basically her whole career, having received her breakout role in the streamer’s sci-fi horror hit Stranger Things. She appeared in all five seasons as Eleven. Her other Netflix credits include Damsel, The Electric State, and the Enola Holmes trilogy.
