Grown Ups 3 Is Officially Filming — And the Cast Just Got Even Bigger

Adam Sandler’s comedy gang is back together, cameras rolling, and this time the whole crew is heading somewhere far from their usual backyard barbecue. Grown Ups 3 has begun production for Netflix, with three notable new names joining the beloved Happy Madison universe.

The New Faces Joining the Franchise

Netflix confirmed Julie Bowen, Deon Cole, and Bailee Madison are making their Grown Ups debuts. Bowen previously starred opposite Sandler in 1996’s Happy Gilmore, Cole brings his stand-up and Black-ish pedigree into the Happy Madison fold for the first time, and Madison reunites with Sandler after playing his onscreen daughter in 2011’s Just Go with It. Their roles are being kept under wraps for now.

The Original Gang Returns

Fans worried the move to streaming might mean a scaled-down reunion can relax — Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, and David Spade are all back as leads, and Rob Schneider returns as Rob Hilliard after sitting out Grown Ups 2. Salma Hayek Pinault, Maya Rudolph, and Maria Bello also reprise their roles.

What’s the Plot This Time

With the kids now grown up, the new logline teases “the ultimate adventure” — suggesting the crew is finally free to travel without their children in tow. Rounding out the returning young-adult cast are Jake Goldberg, Sadie Sandler, Sunny Sandler, and more, alongside familiar Happy Madison supporting players like Shaquille O’Neal, Nick Swardson, and Colin Quinn.
