Millie Bobby Brown attending the Enola Holmes 3 premiere
Ahead of her Netflix reunion with David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown has lined up a new project with the streaming service.
Harbour recently shared with ScreenRant that his new Netflix thriller series with Brown had reached an important milestone, as "we have a bunch of scripts and we’re going into production early next year. It’s a really, really great show. This guy, Jack Thorne, who wrote Adolescence, is such a brilliant writer, and it really explores a lot of interesting themes that I think Millie and I want to explore. And it gets into that dynamic in a really rich and propulsive way, and I think it’s just going to be spectacular. I can’t wait."
Now, Netflix has announced that Brown will be starring in and producing Non-Refundable, a comedy film also starring Adults actor Jack Innanen. The story is centered on Dani (Brown) and Nate (Innanen), a former couple who travel to their booked, non-refundable wedding venue in Mexico, so the purchase doesn't go to waste and to show each other up with new dates. Saturday Night Live alum and Emmy Award nominee Paul Briganti will direct based on a spec script by David Bernstein.
Sources at Deadline report that Non-Refundable is connected to Netflix's interest in making a romantic comedy akin to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the likes of which are released much less frequently than they used to be. Netflix executives reportedly realized they had found a refreshing new take on the genre when they began quoting lines and referencing set pieces from Bernstein's script while working at the office.
After becoming a breakout star through Stranger Things and playing a major role in all five seasons, Brown has continued to closely collaborate with Netflix, including in the Enola Holmes movies, with the third installment releasing earlier this year, Damsel, The Electric State, the upcoming thriller series with Harbour, and a supernatural show called Prism whose development was announced in 2025. Non-Refundable further cements her close working relationship with the streamer.
As for Brown's creative partners, Innanen was reportedly chosen due to Netflix executives being impressed by his performance as Paul Baker in FX's Adults. The comedy series is coming off season 2, which has a "Certified Fresh" 100% critics' score and a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Briganti was selected to direct for his style of unconventional comedy and getting top-tier results out of actors, including his direction of Pitt as Dr. Anthony Fauci on SNL, leading to the actor getting an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy Award nomination.
