An all-new Home Alone movie is coming to Disney+ on November 12.
Disney+ announced on Thursday that "Home Sweet Home Alone," 20th Century Studios' all-new comedy adventure from the beloved Home Alone film franchise, will unleash a whole lotta holiday hijinks and merry mayhem just in time for the festive season, giving us even more reasons to kick back Kevin-style with a Little Nero's pizza and a 10-scoop sundae.
In a Twitter thread announcing the news, Disney+ shared a scrapbook of seasonal snaps featuring the movie's main cast, which included previously-announced stars Rob Delaney and Ellie Kemper, together with Archie Yates, Aisling Bea, Kenan Thompson, Tim Simons, Pete Holmes, Devin Ratray, Ally Maki, and Chris Parnell.
Yates plays Max Mercer, "a mischievous and resourceful young boy who has been left behind while his family is in Japan for the holidays. So when a married couple attempting to retrieve a priceless heirloom set their sights on the Mercer family’s home, it is up to Max to protect it from the trespassers… and he will do whatever it takes to keep them out."
Saturday Night Live's Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell co-wrote the script for Home Sweet Home Alone based on the original Home Alone screenplay by John Hughes. Dan Mazer is the movie's director while Hutch Parker and Dan Wilson both serve as producers, with Jeremiah Samuels named as executive producer on the project.
The release of Home Sweet Home Alone comes shortly after we've dusted the cobwebs off of spooky season, with another seasonal special from LEGO and Lucasfilm. LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales will premiere on Disney+ on October 1, kicking off this year's Hallowstream celebration just before the streaming service turns merry and bright for another year.
