Jennifer Garner has signed a new picture deal with Netflix that will see her produce and star in an number of movies for the streamer, and it will start with a sequel to the hit Netflix original movie Yes Day. The family comedy premiered on Netflix in March, and according to the company, it’s Netflix’s biggest kids and family movie to date, and was seen in 62 million households.
In the film, Garner and Édgar Ramírez play parents who get caught up with busy family life, saying “no” to their three kids at every turn. They then decide to have a day in which they say yes to everything (within certain limitations). The concept of “Yes Day” was based on something Garner would do with her kids from the children’s book of the same name by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
Garner will be back to star and produce. With the announcement, Garner said:
“I am honored to join the awesome group of creatives in the Netflix family, and I am extremely excited to work with their passionate and innovative teams across all departments. I had the most gratifying, creative, experience bringing ‘Yes Day’ to life.
The first film was really cute, and my kids loved it. We even had our own yes day with them as a result. They will be thrilled to hear about a sequel for sure. Are you looking forward to Yes Day 2?
