Millie Bobby Brown is gearing up for her next Netflix project, taking on a new romantic comedy titled Non-Refundable, which she will star in and produce alongside rising actor Jack Innanen, best known for FX’s breakout series Adults.
The project comes as Brown moves on from several major roles, including the hit series Stranger Things and Netflix’s Enola Holmes trilogy. She also has an upcoming spy comedy co-starring David Harbour.
Directed by Emmy-nominated Saturday Night Live alum Paul Briganti, Non-Refundable is described as a high-concept comedy following Nate (Innanen) and Dani (Brown), a former couple whose breakup comes with an unexpected financial complication: they are still responsible for paying for their wedding venue.
Rather than letting the money go to waste, the exes decide to travel to Mexico out of spite. Once there, they attempt to make each other jealous by bringing along new romantic interests, setting the stage for an entertaining battle of egos, awkward encounters and romantic misadventures.
The film is based on an original screenplay by David Bernstein. Brown will produce through her company PCMA alongside Jake Bongiovi. Andrew Swett and Aaron Ryder will also produce for Embrace Entertainment, while Will Speck and Josh Gordon are attached through Speck + Gordon Inc. Executive producers include Brown for PCMA, as well as Eric Fineman and David Kern.
According to sources, Non-Refundable reflects Netflix’s growing interest in bringing back the classic romantic comedy formula, blending big laughs with genuine emotional moments. The film is said to take inspiration from comedies such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which successfully balanced outrageous humour with relatable relationship drama.
Netflix executives reportedly became enthusiastic about Bernstein’s screenplay early on, with its memorable one-liners and standout comedic sequences generating excitement among the team.
With Brown and Innanen leading the cast, Non-Refundable is shaping up to be a fresh addition to Netflix’s comedy lineup, offering a modern take on the messy realities of breakups, jealousy and moving on.
