Some new bros are joining the cast of Netflix’s “Little Brother.”
Chris Meloni (“Law & Order: Organized Crime,” “Happy”), Ego Nwodim (“Saturday Night Live,” “Mr. Throwback”), Sherry Cola (“Nobody Wants This,” “JoyRide”), Caleb Hearon (“The Devil Wears Prada 2,” “Sweethearts”) and Ben Ahlers (“The Gilded Age”) have joined the cast of the comedy feature, alongside previously announced stars John Cena and Eric Andre.
The film follows a famous real estate agent whose carefully curated world is upended when his eccentric “little brother” unexpectedly reappears.
Matt Spicer will direct the film from a script by Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel. Producers include David Bernad for Middle Child Pictures and Ruben Fleischer.
