Before 'Nonnas,' Director Stephen Chbosky Created 'Jericho'

There is no question — the touching, enchanting tale about grandmothers coming together to bring a restaurant to life has won the hearts of Netflix users. Directed by Stephen Chbosky and written by Liz Maccie, Nonnas gracefully sidesteps the mature themes that the streaming platform usually showcases and instead finds solace in the story of an Italian eatery in Staten Island, New York. The comforting cinematic experience not only faithfully captures the authentic feel of Enoteca Maria by bringing in generational actresses like Talia Shire and Brenda Vaccaro, but also by showcasing an impressive performance by Vince Vaughn as the son who brings it all together. Nonnas is a charming little movie, which makes it all the more surprising that Chbosky was one of the creators, writers, and executive producers behind a dark series on CBS.
