"We refuse to surrender! We are resilient women, our souls imbued with the fiery spirit of Italian heritage." Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for the enchanting culinary comedy titled 'Nonnas,' helmed by esteemed filmmaker Stephen Chbosky, the visionary behind 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' 'Wonder,' and the musical sensation 'Dear Evan Hansen.' Set to warm the hearts of viewers from the comfort of their homes, this delightful tale will stream exclusively on Netflix in May.
Following the heart-wrenching loss of his mother, Joe Scaravella (portrayed by the ever-charming Vince Vaughn) wagers his all to honor her memory by embarking on an audacious venture: opening an Italian restaurant where a team of local grandmothers reign supreme as the culinary masters. Rooted in a true story, 'Nonnas' is an emotive ode to the passions of food, family, and the myriad ingredients that season the tapestry of life.
Vince Vaughn shines as Joe, while the formidable Nonnas are brought to life by Susan Sarandon as Gia, Brenda Vaccaro as Antonella, Lorraine Bracco as Roberta, and Talia Shire as Teresa. The stellar ensemble further includes Joe Manganiello, Drea de Matteo, Campbell Scott, Michael Rispoli, and Linda Cardellini, among others. As always, the mouthwatering visuals have me yearning to savor each dish crafted within this narrative, each appearing more exquisite than the last! Indulge, dear readers.
Vaughn, embodying Joe with his signature wit, elaborates, "I found immense joy in the bond between food and family, the notion that love and culture are transmitted through shared meals and gatherings, and that these treasures remain with us eternally."
Directed by the talented American filmmaker Stephen Chbosky, whose credits also include 'The Four Corners of Nowhere,' and penned by Liz Maccie, 'Nonnas' draws inspiration from the life journey of Jody Scaravella. Produced by Gigi Pritzker, Rachel Shane, and Jack Turner, this humorous and heartfelt film will make its Netflix debut on May 9th, 2025.
