Netflix’s upcoming comedy Little Brother just got a major dose of comedic brilliance with the addition of Ego Nwodim, the Saturday Night Live standout known for her sharp wit and scene-stealing performances.
Directed by Matt Spicer (Ingrid Goes West) and penned by screenwriting duo Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel, Little Brother follows a high-powered real estate agent whose meticulously curated life is thrown into chaos when his eccentric younger brother unexpectedly reappears. The film promises a heartfelt and hilarious exploration of sibling dynamics, control, and the unpredictable nature of family.
Nwodim joins a powerhouse ensemble that includes John Cena, Eric André, Chris Meloni, Sherry Cola, Caleb Hearon, and Ben Ahlers. Her role in the film hasn’t been publicly detailed yet, but given her track record—from Poker Face to Mr. Throwback and her breakout SNL character “Lisa from Temecula”—audiences can expect a performance packed with charisma and comedic timing.
Behind the scenes, the film is produced by David Bernad (The White Lotus) and Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) under the Middle Child Pictures banner. With Spicer’s knack for dark comedy and emotionally resonant storytelling, Little Brother is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s most anticipated releases.
While the official release date is still under wraps, filming is reportedly underway in Montclair, New Jersey. If the cast chemistry and creative team are any indication, Little Brother could be the next big comedy hit to land on the streamer.
