Grown Ups 3 on the Horizon: Adam Sandler is Making a Comeback on Netflix!

Big news for fans of the Grown Ups franchise! Netflix has officially announced that Grown Ups 3 is in the works, with none other than Adam Sandler making his return. This comes more than ten years after the last installment hit the screens, keeping the excitement alive for fans.

During a recent event, Netflix unveiled the details, revealing that Kyle Newacheck will be at the helm as the director. Newacheck previously directed Sandler in the hit sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, which has set a strong precedent for this new project. The script is being crafted by the dynamic duo of Sandler and his long-time collaborator Tim Herlihy, who have teamed up since the 90s.

While specifics about the storyline and cast are still under wraps, it’s clear that Netflix is prioritizing this project, especially after the phenomenal success of Happy Gilmore 2, which broke records for the biggest opening weekend for a Netflix film in the U.S. This shows just how valuable Sandler and his projects are to the streaming giant.

The original Grown Ups, released back in 2010, featured a star-studded cast including Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider. The film revolves around a group of childhood friends reuniting for a fun-filled Fourth of July weekend along with their families. Although it received mixed reviews (we might have given it a 4/10 ourselves), it was a box office smash and led to a sequel in 2013.

Fans have long speculated about a third movie, and while casting details are still uncertain, it’s likely that we’ll see Sandler, James, Rock, Spade, and Schneider back together again. However, it’s sad to note that the cast won’t be complete as Cameron Boyce, who played Sandler’s character’s son, passed away in 2020. It remains to be seen how the filmmakers will address his character’s fate in this new installment.

As we wait for more updates, one thing is for sure—Grown Ups 3 is shaping up to be a highly anticipated comedy that could bring back all the nostalgia of the original films!
