Is Big Grand Daddy coming to Netflix in 2024?
Sony PicturesDig out your Scuba Steve, because Big Grand Daddy is supposedly coming to Netflix in 2024 – but is it true?
Adam Sandler has enjoyed an enormously successful and polarizing career. While he’s delivered acclaimed turns in Uncut Gems, Punch-Drunk Love, and The Meyerowitz Stories, he’s definitely best known for his legendary (and never-ending run) of goofball comedies.
The Sandman’s rise to fame in the ’90s was pretty quick, thanks to the back-to-back hits of Billy Madison and arguably his most iconic film, Happy Gilmore.
However, 1999 marked the release of one of legitimately good early efforts: Big Daddy – and according to a new rumor, a sequel is coming to Netflix this year.
Is Big Grand Daddy real?
No, Big Grand Daddy isn’t coming to Netflix in 2024, nor is a sequel to Big Daddy in development at all.
As usual, this rumor comes from a fake poster shared by YODA BBY ABY on Facebook, which claimed the sequel would drop on the streaming platform in June. This is unequivocally false.
The caption reads: “Get ready to laugh and love all over again with Big Grand Daddy, the long-awaited sequel to the 1999 hit Big Daddy, featuring Adam Sandler and Cole Sprouse as Sonny Koufax and his now-grown son Julian.
“In this heartwarming and hilarious follow-up, Julian and his wife navigate the joys and challenges of adoption, proving family is what you make it. Mark your calendars for a big, fun, exciting family comedy experience, exclusively on Netflix in June 2024.”
In 2019, Sandler was asked about the possibility of reuniting with Sprouse for a follow-up movie. “I won’t do that to him. He’s doing fine,” he joked.
If you were duped, don’t feel too bad. The page has a knack for fooling people, whether it’s Tom Hardy’s Cape Fear remake or Kurt Russell’s Escape from Earth – neither of which is happening.
