Millie Bobby Brown lands next lead movie role in Netflix's throwback rom-com

Millie Bobby Brown has landed a new project with Netflix: the romantic comedy Non-Refundable.

Brown will both produce and star in the movie opposite Adults' Jack Innanen, with the project set to be directed by Saturday Night Live alumni Paul Briganti.

The film sees Dani (Brown) and her ex-fiancé, Nate (Innanen) learn that their wedding venue is non-refundable, despite the fact that they've broken up.

With no way of reclaiming their money and out of sheer spite, the former couple travel to Mexico, where they attempt to make each other jealous by pursuing dates with new partners.

Billed as a "high-concept commercial comedy", the film is based on a spec-script by David Bernstein and according to sources (via Deadline) is Netflix's attempt at "revitalizing a version of the rom-com you see less of these days", aiming to conjure "big laughs and emotional stakes in equal measure".

Bernstein's spec reportedly had the team "quoting its one-liners" and "referencing its set pieces around the office", leading to executives deciding to go ahead with the project.

Brown recently wrapped up her Enola Holmes trilogy and has been filming for a new Netflix espionage series alongside Stranger Things co-star David Harbour, loosely inspired by Paul Warner's novel, A Spy In the Blood, which will see them portray father-and-daughter once again.

Non-Refundable has yet to announce a release date.
