Adam Sandler is returning to do stand-up comedy for a new special on Netflix. This time, the award-winning actor is reuniting with Josh Safdie, the co-director of Uncut Gems, which is considered as one of his best films. This latest collaboration marks a continuation of the duo’s fruitful partnership and promises a potentially groundbreaking comedy experience.
The current untitled special will be Sandler’s second for Netflix, following the success of his 2018 special, 100% Fresh. The special earned a solid 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and it solidified Sandler’s status as a beloved comedian with enduring appeal.
His partnership with Netflix has blossomed into a multi-faceted one, encompassing various projects beyond stand-up comedy. Since 2015, Sandler has starred in numerous Netflix films, ranging from comedies such as Murder Mystery and Hubie Halloween to the family-friendly animation Leo. He’s also played more dramatic roles, as seen in the upcoming sci-fi film, Spaceman, further showcasing his acting versatility.
Sandler’s production company, Happy Madison Productions, has also actively contributed to Netflix’s content library, producing films such as The Wrong Missy and The Out-laws, cementing Sandler’s presence as a significant figure within the streaming giant’s offerings.
Josh Safdie, alongside his brother Benny, has established himself as a talented director with his films like Daddy Longlegs and Good Time. Their distinct style and storytelling have garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
While details about the special’s content remain under wraps, audiences can look forward to Sandler’s signature blend of humor, heartfelt moments, and a touch of the unexpected, given Safdie’s involvement. The combination of Sandler’s audience connection and Safdie’s directorial vision promises a unique and must-watch experience for fans of both.
With anticipation already building, the untitled special is poised to be another hit for Netflix and a further testament to Sandler’s comedic prowess.
Netflix recently revealed its upcoming lineup for the year, headlined by Squid Game Season 2 and the final season of Cobra Kai.
