Disney+ Announces ’Home Alone’ Reboot For Upcoming Holiday Season

A new Home Alone movie is coming to Disney+ this holiday season. Home Sweet Home Alone will be available to stream exclusively on Disney+ beginning November 12, 2021.
Home Sweet Home Alone stars Ellie Kemper, Rob Delaney, Archie Yates, Aisling Bea, Kenan Thompson, Tim Simons, Pete Holmes, Devin Ratray, Ally Maki, and Chris Parnell.
The reboot follows a similar storyline to past movies in the franchise, but it doesn’t feature the same characters. Rather than following Kevin McCallister and his family, the spin-off tells the story of the Mercer family.
