In 2023, 3 (!) new Adam Sandler films will be coming to the streaming service

It’s hard to imagine Netflix without Adam Sandler. No matter what changes behind the scenes, The Sandman has been part of the streaming service’s repertoire for seven years now. The comedian shows his talents in wonderfully dumb comedies, thrillers and tragic comedies. This year is also marked by unofficial king of Netflixwhich has three new films on the way – and one more is already in the works.

Adam Sandler Movie #1: Murder Mystery 2 reunites with Jennifer Aniston

Everyone’s talking about Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, but comedic murder-guessing is what Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston established at Netflix. Her comedy Murder Mystery was the highest grossing Netflix movie of 2019. This year the sequel comes about the Spitz couple. In the tradition of Nick and Nora Charles from The Thin Man, the two now professionally snoop around the dirty laundry of the rich and famous. When the Maharaja (Adeel Akhtar) from Part 1 is kidnapped, the clarification of the case takes her to Paris, among other places.

The cast includes Mark Strong (Shazam), Mélanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds), Jodie Turner-Smith (After Yang) and Tony Goldwyn (Scandal).

Launch on Netflix: March 31, 2023

Adam Sandler Movie Number 2: The Sci-Fi Movie Spaceman starring Carey Mulligan and Paul Dano

Spaceman, an adaptation of the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfař, seems to go in the tragi-comic direction. Adam Sandler plays Jakub Procházka, the first astronaut of the independent Czech Republic, in the science fiction drama. Jakub is sent to the edge of the galaxy on a mission while his personal life on Earth falls apart. He gets help from an unexpected being.

Johan Renck, who directed all episodes of Chernobyl, is directing. Batman villain Paul Dano, Promising Young Woman star Carey Mulligan and The Big Bang Theory actor Kunal Nayyar join the cast.

Launch on Netflix: Fall 2023

Adam Sandler Movie Number 3: Leo Animated

With Hotel Transylvania, Adam Sandler spearheaded an extremely successful animation series that hardly anyone talks about. No wonder Sandler also voices the main character in the animated film Leo: The 74-year-old lizard Leo has been living in a terrarium in a school for decades and dares to escape with a turtle.

The newly Academy Award-nominated Stephanie Hsu from Everything Everywhere All at Once also lends her voice to the film.

Netflix Launch: November 22, 2023

How many movies has Adam Sandler made for Netflix?

That adds (at least) three films to Netflix’s growing Sandman catalog this year, and doesn’t refer to the Neil Gaiman-based fantasy series of the same name. Netflix’s novel adaptation does not have a release date yet You Are So Not Invited to My Bahmitzvahin which the comedian also stars.

Adam Sandler has starred in these Netflix productions so far:

In addition, Netflix exclusively distributes its films The Black Diamond and The Meyerowitz Stories in Germany. And then there are the numerous other comedies that Sandler, with his production company Happy Madison, is producing for the streaming service without starring himself.

Netflix is ​​owned by the Sandman, and that’s not about to change anytime soon.
