The popular early 2000s romantic comedy 13 Going on 30, starring Jennifer Garner, is being remade. Jennifer Garner will also be an executive producer on the new film, working with Netflix.
Although the story is still under wraps, Emily Bader and Logan Lerman will play the main characters. Brett Haley is directing the film, and Hannah Marks wrote the screenplay.
This new film will be Bader’s second romantic comedy for the streaming service, building on the popularity of her previous hit, People We Meet on Vacation. The movie, set to release in 2026, is based on the bestselling book by Emily Henry and is again directed by Haley.
Haley described 13 Going on 30 as a truly special and flawless movie – both funny and heartwarming, with memorable acting from Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, and Judy Greer. She added that, as a longtime fan, she feels a lot of pressure and excitement about revisiting the story.
It’s particularly special that Jennifer Garner is also an executive producer, given how central she was to the success of the original.

The director expressed his enthusiasm about working with Bader again, calling her and Lerman a wonderfully talented duo. He also said he felt honored to be entrusted with a project that holds so much meaning for many.
The 2004 film follows Jenna Rink, a teen who feels like an outsider and dreams of being a successful adult. When she magically wakes up as her 30-year-old self, she quickly discovers that the life she imagined isn’t as perfect as it seemed.
Jennifer Garner played the adult Jenna, alongside Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer, and Andy Serkis. Brie Larson and Ashley Benson were also featured in the film.
The popular movie 13 Going on 30 was also adapted into a stage musical that premiered in London last summer. Jennifer Garner helped produce the show, and the original movie’s writers, Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, wrote the script.
The writers expressed their excitement for a new generation to enjoy Razzles and experience the same fun, youthful energy described as ‘thirty, flirty, and thriving,’ as referenced in the classic commercial.
