Development

On August 6, 2019, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that Home Alone is in development and would premiere on the company's streaming service, Disney+.[2][3] By October of the same year, Dan Mazer had entered negotiations to direct the film, with a script co-written by Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell. Hutch Parker and Dan Wilson will serve as producers.[4][5]

Casting

In December 2019, Archie Yates, Rob Delaney, and Ellie Kemper were announced as the co-stars of the film.[6][7] In April 2020, it was reported Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin McCallister in the first two films, will reprise his role for a cameo appearance in the new movie.[8][9]

In July 2020, it was reported that Ally Maki, Kenan Thompson, Chris Parnell, Aisling Bea, Pete Holmes, Timothy Simons, and Mikey Day had joined the cast.[10]

Filming

Principal photography began in February 2020, in Canada.[11] In March of the same year, filming was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and industry restrictions worldwide.[10][12][13] In November 2020, Disney announced that all its films that had been postponed by the coronavirus had resumed filming, and in some cases completed principal photography.[14]
