Adam Sandler needs no introduction. The actor has carved his own niche in Hollywood by starring in some of the finest comedy films that have the perfect blend of humor and emotions. Whether it’s portraying a carefree singer in ‘The Wedding Singer,’ or a doting father in the recent Netflix hit ‘You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,’ the actor always leaves an indelible mark on the audience. But Sandler’s talents are not limited to just comedy.
From showcasing his goofy charm in his early breakout films like ‘Billy Madison’ and ‘Happy Gilmore,’ to giving nuanced performances in ‘Punch-Drunk Love,’ and ‘Hustle,’ the actor has time and again proven his versatility. With such incredible filmography, Sandler’s new projects are always highly anticipated by the audience. If you, too, are curious to know about the actor’s upcoming films and TV shows, we have got you covered!
1. Untitled Netflix/Noah Baumbach Project
Netflix is bringing together two of the most prolific Hollywood actors for the first time ever in a coming-of-age comedy about adults, Sandler and George Clooney. Along with them, we also have Riley Keough, Greta Gerwig, Patrick Wilson, Laura Dern, Emily Mortimer, and Isla Fisher. While the plot is under wraps, this Noah Baumbach directorial is in its post-production stage and is being bankrolled by Netflix. Baumbach (‘Marriage Story,’ ‘The Meyerowitz Stories,’ ‘White Noise’) has co-written the screenplay with Emily Mortimer. Details about the promising yet untitled project’s release date are awaited.
2. Happy Gilmore 2 (TBA)
A sequel to the 1996 cult sports comedy ‘Happy Gilmore,’ ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ is soon coming to Netflix. Sandler will return as Happy Gilmore, a hockey player with hilarious anger management issues who realizes he has a thing for golf. While we do not anything about the plot, or the rest of the cast, we do know that the film has reached its pre-production stage which means the script is ready. All we have to do is wait for more updates.
3. Untitled Film with Safdie Brothers (TBA)
Sandler was going to be seen in a yet-untitled movie written and directed by the Safdie brothers but this film has been put on indefinite hold following the split of the Safdie brothers. The film is set against the backdrop of high-end sports card collections in the 1990s and follows a retired Baseball pitcher who tries to make a comeback. Meanwhile, a sports memorabilia agent tries to capitalize on his success.
Sandler was cast along with Megan Thee Stallion. The project marked the second feature-film collaboration of the actor with the Safdie Brothers after the 2019 crime thriller ‘Uncut Gems.’ We do not know whether this film will move ahead or not.
4. Untitled Netflix comedy special (TBA)
Netflix has greenlit Adam Sandler’s second comedy special, which will be directed by Josh Safdie. This is all we know about it for now, and the project has yet to get a release date. This project comes after the creative split of the Safdie Brothers.
