The beloved comedy movie franchise Grown Ups is returning, more than a decade after the previous installment.
Netflix has confirmed that Adam Sandler is making Grown Ups 3 for the streamer and it’s rumored that the rest of the lead cast – Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider – will return as well.
Variety reports that Netflix has not yet confirmed any casting news, but we know that Adam is co-writing the script and the movie will be directed by Kyle Newacheck, who directed Happy Gilmore 2 and Murder Mystery.
The original movie followed a group of lifelong friends who reunite for a July 4th weekend vacation at a lake house, three decades after their high school days, after they find out their former basketball coach had died.
The 2010 movie grossed $272 million at the worldwide box office and led to a sequel, Grown Ups 2, which was released in 2013. The second film earned $247 million worldwide. Both films are currently streaming on Starz.
Despite both movies being panned by critics – the first film had a 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and the sequel dipped to 8% – the movies are fan favorites and constantly are aired on cable networks.
Adam‘s two daughters have become Netflix stars and both have movie rosters with more than 20 films each.
