About
Grown Ups 3 reunites the original ensemble -- Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider -- for the third installment in the franchise, with Dennis Dugan returning to direct after helming the first two films. The plot centers on the core group of friends who unexpectedly inherit control of their childhood summer camp, leading them to reunite for what could be their final escapade together. Netflix backs the project, continuing its lucrative relationship with Sandler's Happy Madison Productions, which has produced some of the streamer's most-watched original films including Murder Mystery, Hustle, and You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. Kevin James publicly confirmed the project was moving forward, saying something is happening, and Sandler acknowledged hearing chatter about the sequel. Principal photography is scheduled to begin on February 2, 2026 in Vancouver, British Columbia, with the Canadian city's forests and lakeside environments standing in for the summer camp setting. The first two Grown Ups films, released in 2010 and 2013, grossed a combined $536 million worldwide against modest budgets, making the franchise one of the most commercially successful comedy series of the 2010s. A release is anticipated in late 2026 or early 2027.
