Vince Vaughn Leads Netflix’s Heartfelt New Film NONNAS, Arriving This May

Get ready for a movie packed with heart, laughter, and a generous helping of old-school Italian soul. NONNAS, the much-anticipated new Netflix original film, is set to premiere this May 9, and it’s already generating buzz for its star-studded cast and touching true-story origins.

Led by Vince Vaughn, with an ensemble cast including Susan Sarandon, Linda Cardellini, Lorraine Bracco, and Brenda Vaccaro, NONNAS promises to be one of this spring’s most endearing and uplifting releases.

A Story of Love, Loss, and Homemade Pasta

Based on the real-life story of Joe Scaravella, NONNAS follows Joe (played by Vaughn), a man grappling with the profound loss of his beloved mother. Struggling with grief, Joe decides to honor her memory in the most heartfelt way imaginable: by opening a cozy Italian restaurant in his community. But this isn’t just any restaurant — in a charming and unconventional twist, the kitchen is staffed entirely by local grandmothers, affectionately called “nonnas”.

Each grandmother brings with her cherished family recipes, stories from the old country, and timeless wisdom passed down through generations. Together, they turn the restaurant into a warm, welcoming place where every dish tells a story, and every customer leaves with a full stomach and a fuller heart.

A Cast Full of Charm and Chemistry

Vince Vaughn steps into a more tender, emotionally driven role, while seasoned stars Susan Sarandon, Linda Cardellini, Lorraine Bracco, and Brenda Vaccaro light up the screen as the feisty, hilarious, and fiercely loving nonnas. Their chemistry and natural warmth promise to deliver both laughs and tear-jerking moments.

Why NONNAS Is a Must-Watch

At its core, NONNAS is a celebration of family, tradition, and community. It reminds us of the value of keeping old stories alive, of finding healing in unexpected places, and of how food has the incredible power to connect people across generations.

With its beautiful message, outstanding cast, and rich Italian-American culture, NONNAS is poised to become one of Netflix’s standout films of 2025 — perfect for those who love heartfelt, character-driven stories with a dash of humor and nostalgia.
