Christina Milian to Executive Produce and Star in Netflix Holiday Rom-Com ‘Meet Me Next Christmas’
Variety reports that Christina Milian continues her streak of rom-coms at Netflix with the upcoming holiday movie “Meet Me Next Christmas.”
The project marks the actor and musician’s third collaboration with Netflix following her popular destination romances, 2021’s “Resort to Love” and 2019’s “Falling Inn Love.”
Milian will executive produce and star in “Meet Me Next Christmas,” playing Layla, who, in pursuit of a fairytale romance with the man of her dreams, must race through New York City to get her hands on the hottest ticket in town: the sold out Pentatonix Christmas Eve Concert.
The film also stars Devale Ellis (“Sistas,” “Zatima,” “The Perfect Find”), Kofi Siriboe (“Queen Sugar,” “Insecure”) and Kalen Allen (“An American Pickle,” “With Love”), alongside the Grammy-winning a capella group Pentatonix (Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee).
Directed by Rusty Cundieff (“Chappelle’s Show,” “White Water”), “Meet Me Next Christmas” is written by Molly Haldeman and Camilla Rubis (“The Neighborhood,””Malibu Rescue”). Mark Roberts (“The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia,” “Water and Power”) is producing the project, while Simon Lythgoe and Matt Code executive produce alongside Milian.
The film is scheduled to start production next week.
