Nostalgic Reboots And Sequels
13 Going on 30 is getting a full reboot with original stars Jennifer Garner and Judy Greer joining a new ensemble, offering serious nostalgia for fans of the 2004 classic. Grown Ups 3 finally reunites the entire empty-nester crew, including Rob Schneider, who missed the second film, for what looks like a European adventure. Meanwhile, Why Did I Get Married Again brings Tyler Perry’s original cast back together for a wedding that unravels old relationship drama, and it’s arriving the soonest of the bunch, on September 9, 2026.
Big Romance With A-List Stars
Good Sex pairs Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo in Lena Dunham’s R-rated take on modern dating after 40, backed by a $55 million rights deal. Just Picture It finds Millie Bobby Brown falling into a time-glitch romance with rising star Gabriel LaBelle. Positano teams Matthew McConaughey and Zoe Saldaña for a glamorous Italian heist romance from the Working Title team behind Notting Hill and Love Actually.
Holiday Comfort Watches
The Christmas slate alone could fill an entire weekend. A Christmas Kind of Love follows a widowed baker rediscovering her secret country music past, Guarding Stars pairs Leighton Meester with Jared Padalecki in a bodyguard-meets-romance holiday caper, and In a Holidaze puts a Groundhog Day-style time loop spin on the genre with Maddie Ziegler and Rob Lowe. All three are aiming for a Holiday 2026 release.
Action-Comedy Team-Ups
Protecting Jared pairs Jason Momoa’s underachieving security guard with Andy Samberg’s insufferable billionaire for a Hawaiian survival comedy. Bad Day brings Cameron Diaz back to action-comedy as a single mom navigating an escalating disaster. There’s also an untitled spy action-comedy pairing Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill as rival secret agents who cross paths at a Lamaze class, directed by McG, expected in late 2027.
Ensemble And College Comedies
The Fifth Wheel, led by Kim Kardashian, follows a Vegas girls’ trip gone sideways, while Best of the Best sends Maitreyi Ramakrishnan into the cutthroat world of competitive college Bollywood dance. Women Like Us, an ensemble dramedy with Whoopi Goldberg, Jenifer Lewis, and Vivica A. Fox, and executive produced by Michelle Obama, rounds out the mid-to-late 2027 slate.
Family And Coming-Of-Age Picks
Eloise brings Amy Sherman-Palladino’s chaotic energy to the classic children’s book series, starring Ryan Reynolds alongside newcomer Mae Schenk. A Matter of Time offers a high-concept supernatural comedy starring Ben Stiller and Nicholas Galitzine, from Fleabag director Harry Bradbeer. Better Than the Movies, based on the popular YA novel, is set to begin filming this fall for a late 2027 release.
Bottom Line
Between reboots, holiday romance, and star-studded ensembles, Netflix’s 2026-2027 comedy slate has genuinely something for every mood. September alone brings two major releases, and the pipeline stretches well into 2027 with even bigger names still to come.
