“Whether you know him as Sandman, the Water Boy, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Nick Spitz or simply Adam, one thing is clear: our members can’t get enough of him,” says Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer, in a statement. “They love his stories and his humor, as we saw with Murder Mystery. So I could not be more excited to extend our partnership with Adam and the Happy Madison team and deliver more laughs around the world.”

Sandler has already starred in a number of films on Netflix including The Ridiculous 6, The Do-Over, Sandy Wexler, The Week Of, and Murder Mystery. He has also released his stand-up special, Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh, on the site.
