Eric André And John Cena Star In The Upcoming Netflix Comedy ‘Little Brother’
The comedy is described as "What About Bob?" meets "Parasite."
Little Brother brings together John Cena and Eric André in a chaotic, character-driven comedy centered on an unexpected reunion.
The film follows Rudd (Cena), a successful but emotionally disconnected man whose carefully curated life is disrupted when Marcus (André)—a former “little brother” from a childhood mentorship program—suddenly reappears. Believing he’s visiting his biological brother in the hospital, Rudd instead finds Marcus, who quickly embeds himself into Rudd’s family life.
As Marcus wins over Rudd’s wife Deirdre, played by Michelle Monaghan, and bonds with the children, Rudd struggles to maintain control as his once-perfect world unravels. The story blends absurd comedy with themes of family, connection, and emotional growth.
Directed by Matt Spicer, the film also stars Christopher Meloni, Ego Nwodim, Sherry Cola, and Caleb Hearon.
Written by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul from a concept by David Bernad, Little Brother is positioned as a mix of offbeat humor and heartfelt storytelling.
The film premieres on Netflix on June 26.
