As of 2026, Adam Sandler's next movie slate is busy due to his ongoing deal with Netflix and his return to theatrical comedies. His most anticipated upcoming project is Happy Gilmore 2, which was officially announced by Netflix and has been in active development with Sandler reprising his iconic role as Happy Gilmore, with filming taking place in 2024 and 2025 and a release window targeted for 2025 to 2026. In addition, Sandler is attached to several other Happy Madison projects including a new untitled comedy with his longtime collaborators and voice work for animated films like Leo 2. He is also continuing his dramatic work after Uncut Gems and Hustle, with reports of a new Safdie-adjacent drama and a Noah Baumbach collaboration in development. Sandler's strategy has been to alternate between broad Netflix comedies like Murder Mystery 2 and The Out-Laws and more serious festival films. Because his Netflix deal is worth over 250 million dollars, most of his next films will premiere on Netflix first before any theatrical window. Fans should watch official Netflix and Happy Madison announcements for exact release dates, as schedules shift frequently.
