Jojo Rabbit star Archie Yates, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney will all reportedly star in the original film which will follow a new character who finds himself in a similar situation to Kevin.
It will air on Disney+ and is the first original scripts to be announced since the streaming service was launched in the United States in November.
Yates will play the youngster who finds himself left at home alone at Christmas.

After the McCallisters mistakenly leave for the airport without Kevin, he awakens to an empty house and assumes his wish to have no family has come true.
But his excitement soon fades when he realises that two burglars plan to rob the McCallister residence, and that he alone must protect the family home.
