Dave Chernin and John Chernin, celebrated filmmakers popularly known for It’s Always Sunny for Philadelphia, are going to direct Netflix’s upcoming movie, ‘Incoming’. The movie focuses on bringing back the nostalgic essence of the high school comedies from the 2000s when movies like American Pie used to rule the screens.

The storyline revolves around a group of high school boys who navigate through their adolescent life, crushes, friendships, and more in this R-rated movie. What happens after attending their first high school party or how it escalates an unforgettable night into chaos is all about the rest of the narrative.

Dave and John have taken inspiration from their own experiences for directing this movie. And having a long-admired desire to direct a high school comedy, this project seemed to be the perfect choice for them. In an interview with Netflix Tudum in 2023, John Chernin shared, "I remember me and Dave sitting by a window with the lights off just looking into the backyard at this raging high school house party next door thinking that is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen."

Supporting John’s statements, his brother Dave chimed in, “We always wanted to write a high school movie. So for 15-plus years, we’ve been kicking around the idea of a high school movie, and there were just little moments that we always had written in notepads."
