Development

In 2013, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were attached to The Reunion, a comedy about a high school reunion. The film was set-up at Sony Pictures and was to be produced by Lord, Miller (under their Lord Miller banner), Jonathan Kadin, and Hannah Minghella, and written and directed solely by Miller.[6] In 2014, Lord and Miller were still optimistic in making The Reunion while promoting The Lego Movie.[7]

On June 24, 2020, it was announced that Apple TV+ had given the production an eight-episode straight-to-series order. The series is created by Miller who is also the showrunner and is expected to executive produce alongside Lord while Audrey Lee is a producer. Production companies involved with the series were slated to consist of Sony Pictures Television and TriStar Television.[8][1][9] The series is scheduled to premiere on January 28, 2022.[2]

In November 2020, the cast was announced, including Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer and Dave Franco.[10]
