Nick Reiner is set to be charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the death of his parents, legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, producer Michele Singer Reiner, prosecutors said Tuesday.

The couple was found dead at their home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles on Sunday. The younger Reiner, age 32, was arrested around 9:15 p.m. PT on Sunday.

District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced the charges during a press conference, saying they would be filed Tuesday. Hochman said the charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. He added a decision on seeking the death penalty has not yet been made.

The Los Angeles Police Department, which investigated the deaths, previously said in a statement that it "determined that the Reiners were the victims of homicide" and that Nick Reiner "was responsible for their deaths."

Rob Reiner directed notable Hollywood classics like "The Princess Bride," When Harry Met Sally," and "A Few Good Men."

He also directed "Being Charlie," a movie cowritten by Nick Reiner and largely based on the younger Reiner's own life and struggle with drug addiction.

Police said during the press conference that Nick Reiner was arrested without incident in the Exposition Park area near the University of Southern California campus.

Hochman said after the charges are filed Nick Reiner would be brought to court to be arraigned, at which point he will enter a plea of guilty or not guilty.

Hochman urged the public to avoid rumors about the case that do not come from official sources, like LAPD or the district attorney's office. "Please do not rely on rank speculation, rumor, or hearsay to believe that you understand anything about what went on in this case," he said.

Correction: December 16, 2025 — This story was corrected to reflect the correct name. Director Rob Reiner died, not Rick Reiner.
