It was already revealed that Kenan Thompson, Ally Maki, and Chris Parnell would all be part of Disney+’s upcoming Home Alone reboot, which is officially titled Home Sweet Home Alone, but now, thanks to D23, we know of additional casting.
Home Sweet Home Alone will star Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Rob Delaney (Deadpool 2), Archie Yates (Jojo Rabbit), Aisling Bea (Living with Yourself), Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live), Tim Simons (Veep), Pete Holmes (The Secret Life of Pets 2), Devin Ratray (Home Alone), Ally Maki (Toy Story 4), and Chris Parnell (Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues), and is directed by Dan Mazer (Dirty Grandpa).
With a star-studded line-up, this project looks to be like a must-see, especially since Devin Ratray, who portrayed Buzz McCalister in the original Home Alone and Home Alone 2, will be involved!
