Netflix officially confirmed Adam Sandler’s return as Lenny Feder in Grown Ups 3 during the 2026 Netflix Upfronts presentation.
The streamer is once again bringing one of Sandler’s biggest IPs to its library as part of its lucrative partnership.
As Lenny and his hilarious friends reunite once more, here’s everything we know so far about Grown Ups 3.
What is Grown Ups 3 About?
Grown Ups 3 has been rumored to be in development for quite some time before Netflix’s official announcement.
While details about its plot remain under wraps, there are claims that the story will feature a major change.
In fact, according to What’s on Netflix, the sequel may see the Feders return after Lenny inherits his childhood summer home.
If this is true, the crew may trade their hometown antics for summer camp chaos.
There are also rumors that filming will take place in different countries, which would be a major shift from the first two films.
So by the looks of it, the group may go on an overseas vacation or attend an international summer camp.
Who’s in the Cast of Grown Ups 3?
So far, Adam Sandler is the only one confirmed to return in Grown Ups 3. Netflix has yet to reveal whether the other four main cast members, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider, will also reprise their roles as Marcus Higgins, Eric Lamonsoff, Kurt McKenzie, and Rob Hilliard, respectively.
Elsewhere, the film will be directed by Kyle Newacheck, who also helmed Murder Mystery and Happy Gilmore 2.
In addition to leading the film, Sandler will also co-write the script alongside his long-time collaborator and Happy Gilmore 2 veteran, Tim Herlihy.
Sandler will produce Grown Ups 3 with his wife, Jackie Sandler, alongside Jack Giarraputo and Tim Herlihy, while Kevin Grady and Judit Maull serve as executive producers.
When Will Grown Ups 3 Be Released?
Netflix has yet to reveal when Grown Ups 3 will be released. Rumors suggest that the film will begin production sometime in the summer of 2026.
If this is true, it may not see the light of day until late 2027 or even 2028, depending on the length of production and post-production.
