Netflix sets Millie Bobby Brown and Jack Innanen as the next great rom-com duo

Millie Bobby Brown had already cemented herself as Netflix royalty with her Emmy Award-nominated and pop culture-defining role in Stranger Things. But she continued to rack up hit movies like the Enola Holmes trilogy, Damsel, and The Electric State, and she's far from finished dominating the streamer. Brown has a spy series and two rom-coms on the way, including one that was just revealed.

Netflix announced that Brown will star in and produce the upcoming romantic comedy film Non-Refundable from director Paul Briganti. In addition to Brown leading the movie, the star's male lead will be comedy breakout Jack Innanen, a fan-favorite from FX and Hulu's beloved comedy series Adults and Netflix's original comedy Big Mistakes. They're the rom-com duo we never knew we needed.

Written by David Bernstein, Non-Refundable stars Brown and Innanen as exes Dani and Nate, who discover that they can't back out on the wedding venue they already paid for even though they have since broken up. Because of this mix-up, Dani and Nate decide to take advantage of the venue in Mexico, but in the process, they look to make each other jealous with their new love interests.

According to Deadline, Non-Refundable seems to be the streamer's conscious push to revive the kind of laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that's not quite as accessible as in past years. The streamer definitely picked the right stars for the job. While Brown might not be known for her work in comedy, her press tours have more than showcased her one-of-a-kind sense of humor and comedic timing.

Not to mention, it was only a matter of time before Innanen became the leading man he was destined to be. He's so far chewed scenery in two breakthrough supporting roles after making waves with online videos. But he's the rom-com star the new generation needs. We know he can deliver swoons and laughs, but to see him do both in a movie with Millie Bobby Brown couldn't be more exciting.

As previously mentioned, Brown has quite the lineup in the works at Netflix since Stranger Things came to an end in 2025. In 2027, the streamer will release Just Picture It, another original romantic comedy featuring the star and Gabriel LaBelle. Additionally, she's set to reunite with David Harbour for a new spy thriller series, once again playing father and daughter but this time as FBI agents.

Netflix hasn't revealed any timing for Non-Refundable, including when the movie begins filming or when we could potentially see the film make its premiere on our watch lists. There's a chance that the movie could begin production before the end of 2026, though it's also likely that filming will take place in 2027. Either way, we might be waiting a bit longer than we'd like for it to arrive.

With Brown prepping for the release of Just Picture It next year and Innanen working on Big Mistakes season 2, which will also likely drop sometime in 2027, we could be waiting until sometime in 2028 for the pair's rom-com to release. After all, it sounds like the perfect summer comedy, and it's far too soon to put summer 2027 on the calendar. Hopefully, Netflix won't keep us guessing for long.
