Yes Day Sequel in the Works at Netflix With Jennifer Garner to Return
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Netflix has announced that they're currently developing a sequel to
their popular family comedy feature Yes Day, with Golden Globe winner
Jennifer Garner attached to reprise her role as Allison Torres. In
addition, Garner has also strengthened her partnership with the
streamer by officially signing a multi-picture deal for the acclaimed
actress to star in and produce new films for Netflix. The Yes Day
sequel will be part of her multi-picture deal with the streamer.

"Having known Scott for fifteen years, there is a reason his
relationships in the business stand the test of time," Garner said in
a statement. "He is as true blue as he is smart and intuitive about
filmmaking. Reed, Ted, and Scott have built a safe, collaborative home
for storytellers- 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. Seeing
Netflix's global reach as the Torres family wreaked havoc in homes all
over the world makes me eager to dive in with another Day of Yes;
I can't wait. I am grateful for Netflix's continued support and look
forward to mixing it up across the board with this partnership."

"I first worked with Jen on The Kingdom 14 years ago and consider
myself very lucky to still be in business with her today," Netflix's
Head of Global Film, Scott Stuber said. "As an actor, she's proven
herself to be incredibly versatile in unforgettable roles spanning
fast-paced action, heartfelt comedies, and thought-provoking dramas.
She approaches every aspect of her work with such detail and
preparation, which makes her an extremely valuable partner and
producer. We look forward to celebrating another Yes Day with Jen and
collaborating on many other exciting projects."

Yes Day was based on New York Times best-selling children's novel by 
Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrator Tom Lichtenheld. It starred 
Jennifer Garner, Edgar Ramírez, Jenna Ortega, Julian Lerner, Megan
Stott, June Diane Raphael, and Nat Faxon.

In the first film, always feeling like they have to say NO to their
kids and co-workers, Allison and Carlos decide to give their three
kids a YES DAY - where for 24 hours the kids make the rules. Little
did they know that they'd be going on a whirlwind adventure around
Los Angeles, that would bring the family closer to each other than
ever before.

Yes Day was directed by Miguel Arteta from a screenplay written by
Justin Malen. The film was seen by 62 million households in the first
four weeks and is Netflix's biggest Kids & Family film release.

Garner will also next be seen in Netflix's upcoming star-studded
sci-fi film titled The Adam Project starring opposite Ryan Reynolds,
Zoe Saldana, and Mark Ruffalo.
