Netflix has snapped up rights to Incoming, a comedy written and directed by The Mick creators Dave Chernin and John Chernin, in their feature debut.

First announced last summer, the film stars Mason Thames (The Black Phone), Bardia Seiri (Grey’s Anatomy), Ramon Reed (Just Roll with It) and Raphael Alejandro (Acapulco) as four high school freshmen who navigate the terrors of adolescence at their first-ever party. Among those rounding out the cast are Bobby Cannavale (Old Dads), Kaitlin Olson (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Scott MacArthur (No Hard Feelings), Isabella Ferreira (Love, Victor), Thomas Barbusca (The Mick), Ali Gallo (The Sex Lives of College Girls), and Loren Gray (100% Wolf).

Producers on the pic include Nicholas Stoller and Conor Welch for Stoller Global Solutions; Todd Garner, Peter Principato, Ben Silverman and Mark Korshak for Artists Road; and Peter Oillataguerre. Caroline James and Noah Nusinow served as executive producers.

The Chernin brothers are best known for creating The Mick, the Fox sitcom starring Olson as foul-mouthed babysitter Mackenzie Molng, which ran for two seasons. They previously rose through the ranks as part of the writing and producing staffs for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the sitcom from FX that is the longest-running in history, having now aired 16 seasons, with a commitment for at least two more.

It’s already been a productive week on the film side for Netflix, which on Sunday announced its acquisition of rights to the Kim Kardashian comedy package The Fifth Wheel. The streamer won out in a bidding war for the project just after Thanksgiving, prevailing over four other suitors. While the logline for that project is under wraps, sources tell Deadline that Kardashian will play the eponymous “fifth wheel” alongside a female ensemble cast. Paula Pell and Janine Brito are writing the script, with the former to produce alongside Kardashian.
