Millie Bobby Brown To Star In And Produce Netflix Comedy ‘Non-Refundable’

Millie Bobby Brown is set to reunite with Netflix for another project, adding a new comedy film to her growing lineup of collaborations with the streaming platform. The announcement comes ahead of her upcoming reunion with Stranger Things co-star David Harbour in a separate Netflix project.

Netflix has announced that Brown will star in and produce Non-Refundable, a comedy film featuring Adults actor Jack Innanen alongside her. The story follows Dani (Brown) and Nate (Innanen), a former couple who decide to travel to their previously booked wedding venue in Mexico despite ending their relationship. Since the venue is non-refundable, they choose to make the most of the booking while attempting to outdo each other by bringing new dates.

The film will be directed by Paul Briganti, an Emmy Award-nominated Saturday Night Live alumnus, from a spec screenplay written by David Bernstein.

According to Deadline, Non-Refundable is part of Netflix’s interest in bringing back romantic comedies similar to Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The genre has become less common in recent years, and the streaming platform reportedly sees Bernstein’s screenplay as a refreshing addition. Sources told the publication that Netflix executives were particularly impressed with the script after they began quoting its dialogue and discussing its comedic sequences around the office.

Brown has maintained a strong professional relationship with Netflix since becoming widely recognized for her performance in all five seasons of Stranger Things. Her collaborations with the platform include the Enola Holmes film franchise, Damsel, and The Electric State. She also has several upcoming projects associated with the streamer, including a thriller series with Harbour, the romantic comedy Just Picture It, and the supernatural series Prism, which was announced during development in 2025. With Non-Refundable joining this lineup, Brown continues to expand her creative partnership with Netflix following the conclusion of Stranger Things on December 31, 2025.

The film’s creative team also brings together several established comedy talents. Innanen reportedly attracted Netflix executives’ attention through his performance as Paul Baker in FX’s comedy series Adults. The series received strong reviews, with its second season earning a 100% critics’ score and a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes at the time referenced in the original report.

Briganti was selected to direct the project for his distinctive approach to unconventional comedy and his ability to bring strong performances out of actors. His previous work includes directing Brad Pitt’s portrayal of Dr. Anthony Fauci on Saturday Night Live. That performance earned Pitt an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy Award nomination.

Meanwhile, Brown’s upcoming reunion with Harbour is also moving forward. Harbour has confirmed that he has received scripts for their new series, with production expected to begin early next year. This project could therefore enter production before Non-Refundable, which has only recently been announced. Brown’s romantic comedy Just Picture It reportedly began and completed production in 2025, making it another project that could arrive before the newly announced film.

Regardless of the release schedule, Netflix subscribers can expect to see Brown continue working on new projects for the platform following the conclusion of Stranger Things.

Non-Refundable will be produced by Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, through their production company, PCMA. Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce for Embrace Entertainment, while Will Speck and Josh Gordon will produce for Speck + Gordon Inc. Brown will also serve as an executive producer alongside Eric Fineman and David Kern.

Swett and Ryder previously worked on another Netflix romantic comedy, Office Romance, starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein.
