Deal comes after Meyers and Netflix partnered in 2020 to release Father of the Bride Part 3 (ish) That was a short film released on Netflix social channels, bringing together the cast of Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride Part II as well as Robert De Niro, Florence Pugh and Ben Platt. The Banks family reunion was made to benefit World Central Kitchen during the pandemic.

Meyers is repped by CAA and attorney Craig Emanuel.
