High school comedies have a special place in the hearts of many movie enthusiasts, and Netflix's latest offering, “Incoming,” promises to be a standout addition to the genre. Set to debut on August 23, 2024, “Incoming” brings a fresh and hilarious take on the high school experience, with an all-new trailer showcasing the fun and chaos that awaits.
Written and directed by Dave and John Chernin, known for their work on “It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Incoming” is a passion project years in the making. The film follows four freshmen facing the ultimate challenge of their young lives: navigating their first high school party. The Chernins, who have always wanted to create a high school movie, poured their experiences and creativity into this debut feature film.
The cast of “Incoming” is nothing short of extraordinary. It features Mason Thames (“The Black Phone”), Ramon Reed (“13: The Musical”), Raphael Alejandro (“Once Upon a Time”), Isabella Ferreira (“Orange Is the New Black”), Bardia Seiri (“Grey's Anatomy”), Loren Gray (“Outsiders”), Ali Gallo (“The Sex Lives of College Girls”), Scott MacArthur (“The Righteous Gemstones”), Thomas Barbusca (“The Mick”), Kim Hawthorne (“How to Get Away with Murder”), Victoria Moroles (“Teen Wolf”), Kayvan Shai (“FBI”), with Kaitlin Olson and Bobby Cannavale rounding out the ensemble.
Produced by Nicholas Stoller, Conor Welch, Todd Garner, Mark Korshak, Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, Peter Principato, and Ben Silverman, “Incoming” boasts a robust production team. Executive producers Chris Stone, Caroline James, and Noah Nusinow have also lent their expertise to this exciting project.
As John Chernin mentioned in an interview with Tudum, the idea for “Incoming” had been percolating for nearly two decades. The brothers finally decided to bring their vision to life, realizing that time was slipping away from their own high school days. Dave added that the concept of freshmen experiencing an early-life identity crisis became the driving force for the story.
With its engaging plot, talented cast, and the comedic brilliance of the Chernin brothers, “Incoming” is set to be a must-watch. Mark your calendars for August 23, 2024, and prepare for a nostalgic and laughter-filled ride.
